Breeze

Photo of the tops of tall trees, with one party tall and thin gumtree towering over the rest.

Tall model poses,

gently wind blows through her hair;

eucalyptus sways.

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

Photo of a tall gum tree as seen from below.

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

Endurance

panaromic photo of a tall bald tree stump

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.
