Write in the park, Day 17.
At the entrance to the garden
stands a grove of coconut trees
Gently waving branches
they welcome you and me
Their long and slender tree trunks
bear the scars of many years
Wearing crowns of slender palm fronds
saying, "Pleased to see you here"
Each frond look bored and sleepy
drooping under the sky
Yet rustles loudly with a sudden wave
when a soft wind passes by
All through the day these coconut trees
stand tall to greet their guests
Gently waving branches
saying, "Come and take a rest".
