Order

As school marching band,
shaven sides, prim and proper;
municipal trees.

Work-life balance

Trees and bushes reflected on the surface of the Lake Burley Griffin in Canberra — Lake Burley Griffin, Canberra

World weighs on her head,
sea of duty drags her down;
the calm lake, mother.

The living

Old tree with greenish-gray leaves, Canberra

As great old Nana,
flaunting bushy bulging hair,
trees live their best life.

Tree’s advice

A leaf-less tree surrpounded by other types of trees, Canberra

Though standing alone
surrounded by lusciousness,
stay weird and happy.

Great teacher

Trees in a park, with a sign bthat reads, Trees are great at social distancing, Haig Park, Canberra — Haig Park, Canberra

Spread comfort and joy;
grab a leaf from nature’s book—
lessons to live by.
