I had a tree.
It was one of the reasons we bought this house.
It shaded the hammock.
In Spring it shed all its bark;
Enough to carpet the entire yard.
And rainbow lorikeets came to ravage its flowers.
The rest of the year it just dropped leaves.
It was a good tree.
But the neighbours built a house.
And said the tree was dangerous.
And broke their concrete.
I had a tree.
