"Luminsert" sounds better than what I call that effect from the series of trees lining the roads in Florida, which is "palm strobe".

I dislike palm trees. So much so that I once wrote a poem about it, entitled "I Hate Palm Trees." Ahem.

I think that I shall never see

A palm as lovely as a tree.

Palms that roaches crawl within

Fall over in a gust of wind.

Drop ugly fronds into the street

Afford no shade against the heat.

Still, Tampa highway landscape guys

Adore those palms that I despise.

All along the rights-of-way

They plant those damn things anyway.
