Fresh

close up photo of a thin layer of moss on an old tree stump

Tiny specks of green;
damp tree stump gets a jacket
all glossy—fresh moss.

Bold

photo of an old, tall tree with its branches spread out wide

Ancient gatekeeper
glaring down at trespassers—
bold tree, her head high.

Felled

photo of a tree, its trunk leaning to one side

Seeking a lover
mighty nature reaches out—
humans cut it back.

Here and now

photo of a large gumtree in the middle of a busy state highway

Grooving to the now:
highway gumtree head bobbing;
breezy winter’s day.

Secrets

photo of a large tree by the beach, leaning heavily towards the ocean due to persistent breeze pulling it in that direction

A tree that survives,
whispers secrets in the breeze:
bend so you don’t break.
