A haiku: Pohutakawa

Royalty,
Walking red carpets,
Summer Wellington streets.



Author's note: A haiku is a Japanese style of poem. They usually have three lines with 10-17 syllables. It's supposed to be a show not tell style of writing, after all, there's not much you CAN tell in 17 syllables. I think every Wellingtonian will know this image, without much telling.
