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.

Giant

Dizzyingly high:
seeking the tip of gumtrees
I look up; jaw drops.

Endurance

It takes great courage,
to stand taller than the rest;
enduring bald tree.

Wild

Photo of a large cactus tree spread out and curled out like wires.

A head full of snakes,
stunning any who sees it—
Medusa of trees.

Evolution

A sign of great growth:
playing host for a new life;
old becomes mature.
