The Tiger-lily tree

Tiger-lily tree,

Swaying briskly in the autumn wind

As fast as a cheetah pouncing

Discreetly on its precious prey.

The trunk is sky-high 

With orangutan coloured streaks all over.

The leaves are as green as a black cat’s eye 

And falls down like an umbrella.

The Night-fall flower

Night-fall flower

Dancing in the full-moon at the dead of night

Like a strange human.

Its leaves are as deadly 

As a snake in the grass.

It murders your soul if you go near it

The stem is as solid as rock.
