Photo of two trees, one deciduous and leafless and another a Norfolk Island pine.

Beauty does not last
deciduous tree explains;
young Norfolk pine nods.

Ancient guardians
towering over traffic—
churches on sidewalks.

Sun-kissed cityscape;
happily homebound at five,

Photo of a walking path with tall gnarly trees on either side of it.

Photo of the Auckland Sky Tower flanked on all sides by tall trees.
