photo of a blue Lancer parked under three blooming jacaranda trees

Parked under a tree;
the bees on my bonnet seek
jacaranda blooms.

Warmth

Close up photo of a dead rose with the sun setting in the background.

A rose past its prime,
having shed vibrant petals,
seeks warmth in the sun.

Run

Close up photo of a buttercup flowers.

Rats scuttling about,
no time to watch the flowers;
all of life’s a race.

Dying

Close up photo of a red rose with most of its petals dropped.

A broken red rose
bleeds all over my front yard—
spring breeze pays homage.

Expecting

Close up photo of a bunch of purple flowers in the foreground with a cloudy sky in the background.

Flowers in waiting;
fist rain drops of the season
drifting overhead.
