Bullet, Fierce and Bright: A Poem by Shawn
Koala Gardens 2025 Wild Koala Day Poetry Competition
Each year, Koala Gardens hosts events for Wild Koala Day. One event is a competition open to people all around the world. The prizes usually include the chance to win a wild koala adoption.
Often the competition will involve creating poems, colouring in koala drawings, or making some kind of artwork.
The talent that goes into submission every year shows how amazing koala lovers around the world truly are.
Bullet the Koala, fierce and bright,
Climbs the tallest trees to defend the light.
With courage in his gentle paws,
He fights for forests with noble cause.
Saving the leaves, saving the skies,
Bullet dreams of a world where no koala cries.
In his heart, he carries all of humanity’s ties.
You can read more about Bullet’s life at Koala Gardens here.
Shawn has also produced a lovely drawing in tribute to Bullet’s amazing acrobatic ability, which you can see here
