Buzzing

Close up photo of a bee, swarming around a bright yellow flower.

Head in the flowers,
working to save the planet—
bees don’t make a scene.

Sunshine

Close up photo of the flowers of a purple-podded pea plant, with the afternoon sun in the background.

Soaking up the sun,
veins reviving in the warmth,
young peas look alive.

Remote

Photo of a laptop on a residential garden waste bin, in the backdrop of a flowering garden.

Makeshift standing desk,
fresh air, and warmth on my back;
working from my home.

Teaching moment

Close up photo of a large rose and its petals, still intact on the bush.

Cluster of petals
supporting one another;
lesson for humans.

Leftovers

Close up photo of water droplets on the leaves of a rose bush.

Lingering on leaves,
mere hours after morning frost:
droplets; so doubtful.
