Guardiantrees

Guardiantrees shout in the night and cry in the morning. 

Their pattern on the trunk is like a bee.

In the heat they are spotted from miles 

And in the rain they disappear. 

The branches are thin and long like a snake. 

Their leaves are mesmerizing.

Thick roots reach miles below 

Like a child searching a prize box.

Devil Lillies 

Devil Lilies are small and lean to the left and right.

Their stem is spiky and red.

Their petals are red and white and close 

like a hand that got a prize.

Its pollen is golden yellow.

Screeching like a child not getting what he wants.

They drink up the sun 

Like sunbathers on a beach.
