Lingering

Photo of a suburban street with yellowing trees on either side.

Lingering autumn;
an aisle of yellowing trees,
resistant to change.

Expectations

Photo of a road with an aisle of Norfolk Island pine trees on either side.

Lengthy lines of pines,
rainy winter afternoons;
promise of mushrooms.

Magic

close up photo of a small toadstool with a few pine needles above and around it

Hides unassuming,
beneath piles of pine needles:
magic of the world.

Hello there

panaromic photo of a tall gumtree, with sunlight filtering through its leaves and branches

Humans frolicking,
taking insta-worthy shots;
trees welcome autumn.

Playful

Photo of a tall Norfolk Island pine tree leaning to the side, but growing upwards.

Leaning to the side,
putting branches out of line—
a childish pine tree.
