Happy

Close up photo of a bunch of wood sorrel weeds with bright yellow flowers.

Joyously vibrant,
blanketing my garden bed,
common winter weed.

Co-living

Close up photo of the bright yellow flowers of the mustard plant, taken on a sunny day.

The sun never scorns
at flowers that are yellow;
nature complements.

Gardening

Close up photo of a small cauliflower on the making.

Great expectations:
flowering bulb emerges;
no moths around—yet.

On edge

Close up photo of an aloe plant with its bright red flowers.

Open-throated yell,
just an unhappy toddler;
fully-grown aloe.

Fold

Close up photo of a mushroom on a moist ground, with a rouge weed near it.

Mushrooms after rains:
nature’s own origami;
life between the folds.
