Australia Day

Australia Day

I see from my room 
a purple jacaranda tree
in bloom, on a beach
in the coral sea.
Elsewhere, older fig trees grow,
where land retains the memory
of long ago and different names
for the native forest flames.
Or so I imagine it to be.

Hello

I think quite a bit of this is fantastic.  Adjusting the breaks to move some of the rhyme inwards provided a surprising and pleasant feel.  The ending perfectly ties it back and creates both your turn and metaphor with an enviable efficiency.  I have read through a few times hoping to offer a word, a break, something to change but I can't - I love it as it is.  The reader in me just wishes it was a bit longer so I could continue enjoying it but it is the exact correct length already
