Twelve descending snakes
from the canopy spiral:
a banyan tree's strength.
Author notes
Option 2: Haiku on a tree. I love trees, too! The banyan is by far my favorite tree, mostly because it provided so much fun for me as a child (swinging on the vines, building a tree house, admiring the 100's of birds housed in it, playing guitar in its shade)! Thought the universal allusion to the Fall, juxtaposed with the resulting strengthening, would add a measure of depth and originality to what many see as common. Trees, as you know, are very uncommon, yes? Aloha!

Snakes on a Plain
Yikes! I HATE snakes!
Check out "Dead Planet" and learn about the original snake and the resulting calamity (this is original music by the artist and a MUST listen) at www.nakedadam.net
