Unrecognised

Close up photo of a white mulberry on a person’s palm, with a mulberry tree in the background.

Humble mulberry,
a silkworm delicacy—
its glory unseen.

Weak-kneed

photo of the shadow of a large flowering tree on a green patch, with its pink flowers on the ground, partly in shade

Taking a tumble,
clings to the ground for support—
unstable shadow.

Shapes and sizes

photo of two Norfolk Island pine trees, one tall and straight and the other leaning to one side. Both trees are about the same height

One stands tall and straight,
the other slightly sidetracked—
trees nevertheless.

Eyeing

photo of gumtree tops as seen from below, with two big patches where the cloudless blue sky is visible

Peering through gum leaves,
watching wonders of below—
brightly blue-eyed sky.

Escape

close up photo of a round fruit on a tree, surrounded by big leaves

Sitting amidst leaves,
camouflaged comfortably,
fruit avoids the birds.
