sea green covers your spires and
puffed elongated seeds of irony
spread among the lightest blooms
overgrown with shades of green
and tasteless images of climbing
castrate your seeds of future
sickening embellishment and cower
before the shears of time
cut this climbing growth of undue
fleshy matter and senseless time
spent in labor

Your poem is of a climbing plant, I think. Eucalypts are not climbers.
Well-constructed images in your 'take' of the photograph.

You have done a wonderful description with enlightening images throughout this poem. Would have liked more feeling though, how the image made you feel. BUT, all in all, this is a well written poem filled with wonderful imagery a lovely language. Best of luck in the judging. ~Pamela

This is a take
I was not expecting for fresh eucalypt flowers and buds.
You developed a consistent theme and used imagination.
Best wishes in this contest.
