Outside

I boldly venture;
dew drops on my broccoli leaves,
winter lingers on.

Workplace

Small yellow flowers.
scattered about my garden;
perks of the workplace.

Brave

Close up photo of a small head of cauliflower, some of its leaves chewed by bugs.

With dumb bravado,
standing up to the big bugs,
small cauliflower.

Climber

Close up photo of a black ant on a broad bean plant.

Mighty hiker ant,
climbing mountains every day—
while I watch in awe.

Balanced

Flowers don’t worry;
lose their equilibrium—
if bees don’t love them.
