Native

photo of a Moreton Bay fig tree and its widespread roots — Moreton Bay fig or Moraceae, a species of trees endemic to eastern Australia

Engulfing the earth,
casting its roots far and wide,
native tree reclaims.

Showoff

photo of a tall gumtree just after the rain

With renewed vigour,
flaunts its luscious head of hair—
gumtree after storm.

Artiste

photo of two large trees looming over roofs of houses with the deep orange of the sunset in the horizon

Sold out performance,
standing ovation from trees,
the sun takes a bow.

Discord

photo of scattered clouds against a blue sky

Splatter of colours,
cacophony on canvas—
cloudy summer’s day.

Beauty

Unwarranted life,
blemish in a perfect world,
weeds are beautiful.
