Gumtree

In the playground, a tall gumtree stands so high

Its branches stretch up towards the sky

Leaves whisper in a soft gentle breeze

A refuge for birds and buzzing honeybees.

Beneath its shade we play and cheer with glee

Its bark tells stories of countless heights

Kookaburras’ calls, their laughter fills the air

As we huddle around, we face a curious glare.

I love how it looks

It’s like reading a never-ending story book

The gumtree spreads its shines

 Across the landscape like a new design.
