Shade

A private bower

where love may splice

(Banana, orchid, lime and spice)

A place for kissing -

or something sillier

(Pandanus, taro, bougainvillea)

A cooler spot where two can be

(Melon, mangrove, breadfruit tree)

Out of the sun, in quiet calm

(Banyan, yam, coconut palm)

A pleached grove, just right for two

(Frangipani, thatch, bamboo)

A place to hide,

and bird and twine

(Sweet potato, millet, vine)
