Jewel

closeup photo of a vibrant hanging flower resembling the shape of a corn

Bright hanging earrings
mark of pride for the wearer
earth’s vibrant flowers

Ambitions

closeup photo of a tiny flower in the grass

Making strangers smile
slightly bent but always bright
small flower dreams big

Friends

From birth towards death
our journey is ours alone
there will be magpies

Protectors

Gumtrees holding ground
our life blood surging within
veins of the planet

Battle-ready

Graceful battalion
paper thin petals prepare
face scorching summer
