Treasure

photo of strawberries partly hidden under leaves and flowers

Hidden balls of gold—
scattered throughout my garden—
edible treasures.

Shine

Mustard lettuce plants,
shine bright as they go to seed—
compete with the sun.

Consequence

Ferocious wind blows,
tears through a tender garden —
a warrior falls.

Journey

Ambitious rocket
snails towards destination,
readying for launch.

Clarity

photo of a garden on a sunny day, full of spinach, rocket, lettuce, tomatoes, strawberries, and other green plants and trees

The sun has come out—
our garden’s looking alive,
doubt clouds have lifted.
