Cool

photo of a coconut tree and its reflection on the grass, resembling the shape of a snowflake

Coconut tree shade
on a summer afternoon—
tropical snowflake.

Night-time

photo of an empty street at night with the orange glow of the street light illuminating an flame-like sculpture by the pavement

Critters of the night,
soft-trodden and starry-eyed—
rise when daylight falls

Tall

photo of a tall palm tree towering over other trees around it, in the Adelaide Botanical Gardens

Giraffe of trees, palm,
vantage to rest of the world,
and its destruction.

Phew

photo of a tree at night with a wavy cloud over it

Exhausted old tree,
sighs deep on a summer night,
a cloud is scattered.

Bold

Photo of luscious trees around a lake in the city of Adelaide

Spreading inner peace,
an army that’ll save the world—
strong trees by our lakes.
