The Bottle Brush

Speck of red hiding inside the green bush,
peeping out like a baby bird hatching from an egg.
Green buds hanging on the red bottle brush bush like a Christmas decoration.
Some bottle brushes hanging over the ground,
furry bits on them, like strands of hair.
A family of new bottle brush buds with tones of dark greenish leaves hanging tight onto the branches.
Rosellas chirping loudly around the tree,
feeding on the flowers,
hiding in the tree for protection.
The bright red brush like flowers,
scaring predators away.
