Poetic Verses
The Casuarina
They provide a sight so majestic and magnificent
Stand tall, sturdy and so wonderfully elegant
And the boughs in the breeze so gently sway
Like with the wind they did play
Those roots so deep and spread all around
Keeping the soil together so tightly bound
There was a time when I tried to remove one from the ground
I had to give up it was fixed so sound
The leaves like needles so cylindrical and thin
Made such a swishing noise when blown by the wind
Beneath there was the observing of a brown spread
It was very hard to resist that temptation to lay one's head
Growing up in an area quite near grove, it was fantastic
Seeing that brown around laid out like wall to wall carpet
Walking across it was such comfort to the feet
It even absorb some of the surrounding heat
There was no doubt that it provided a sight so beckoning
Especially to those friends and lovers for a secret meeting
So they could spend some moments of such privacy
Expressing those feelings and emotions very passionately
Those Casuarinas with those leaves like pines and so green
Have throughout those ages many things have seen
And if they could take, one can say with certainty
That they could tell things going back a century jp
