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.

Flash

Photo of pink clouds at sunset, with old suburban houses and trees in the foreground.

Showing off like teens,
catching sunsets in their hairs;
old suburban homes.

Pray

Photo of a leafless tree nearby a church, with the afternoon sun shining from behind it.

Worthy of worship,
the tree outside the chapel:
halo around it.

Heat

Photo of the sun’s glare, in a diamond shape, with an almond flower-laden tree.

Laundry rejoices—
diamond blazes in the sky
in depths of winter.

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.
