Mt. Remarkable Summit trail, Melrose, South Australia

Holding the skies up;
keeping the earth together—
straight-backed lemon gum.

Musical

a hiking trail with tall, slender gum trees on either side of it

Natural talent,
as rhythmic whisper of gums,
percussionists.

Hi-vis

Outstanding colours,
like spots on a Dalmatian—
gum trees in a gorge.

Strong

photo of a singlel gumtree on an empty brown valley, on the way from Adelaide to Central Australia

In desolation,
in vastness of highway hum,
grows a steady gum.

Surrounded

Melrose, South Australia, as seen from halfway up Mount Remarkable

Flanked on all four sides,
eucalyptus aplenty—
tiny island town.
