Day 4: Street

Written by:

I am longer than you realise
With straight stretches and curling bends

It seems that I lead nowhere
But there is a surprise at my end

Grove of trees
Grove of trees

A wilderness beyond your dreams
A vast and beautiful expanse

Carved through thick groves of gum trees
Waratahs and mountain devil plants

Waratah
Waratah (Telopea specialissima)

I’m here for all the seasons
The heat, the rain, the snow

If you take time to explore me
You’ll discover what I know

Red wattlebird in the snow
Red wattlebird in the snow

Inspired by Discover Prompts – April writing prompts
