Survival

Close up photo of a pea pod, four young peas visible in the afternoon sunlight.

Winter adventure:
across the English Channel,
four peas in a pod.

Up

Look up to the skies;
amidst a patchwork of leaves,
the sun pokes its head.

Close up photo of the leaves of an almond tree with the afternoon sun in the background, it’s rays visible through the leaves.

Outside

close up photo of the dew drops on a broccoli leaf

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

Workplace

photo of bright yellow soursop flowers on the ground, with the photographer's laptop visible on the foreground

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.
