Photo of a long road, with trees on either side, as seen from the front passenger seat of a car.

Old friends side by side,
a straight road stretching afar;
gumtrees share stories.

Breeze

Photo of the tops of tall trees, with one party tall and thin gumtree towering over the rest.

Tall model poses,

gently wind blows through her hair;

eucalyptus sways.

Giant

Photo of a tall gum tree as seen from below.

Dizzyingly high:
seeking the tip of gumtrees
I look up; jaw drops.

Evolution

Panoramic photo of a lemon scented gum tree and a small fig tree growing at its base, leading towards a crack in the gum’s trunk. — A young fig tree growing alongside an established gumtree

A sign of great growth:
playing host for a new life;
old becomes mature.

Rising

Photo of the early morning rays of sunshine behind a row of gumtrees.

Climbs every mountain,
peers over back yards and trees;
model hiker: sun.
