Koala Gardens 2025 Wild Koala Day Poetry Competition

I made a walk in a beautiful park
It was already getting dark
Suddenly I heard someone singing behind me,
I turned, and what did I see?
A koala came along the way
With a little backpack he had on his back.
And I said: Hey, please wait, where are you going?
It’s already late!
He smiled and replied:
I’m going to Koala Gardens, there is my home
And I never will be alone!
My name is Valentine and I hope, you are fine!
He waved to me and I smiled,
So happy to meet you,
Sweet Valentine!
