Endurance

panaromic photo of a tall bald tree stump

It takes great courage,
to stand taller than the rest;
enduring bald tree.

Wild

Photo of a large cactus tree spread out and curled out like wires.

A head full of snakes,
stunning any who sees it—
Medusa of trees.

Existential

Dogs ask big questions:
what’s more important in life;
work or my play time?

Crumbling

Close up photo of a decaying leaf, its veins dried and visible.

Decaying pattern;
fingerprints of our small world,
veins on a green leaf.

Confrontation

Close up photo of a brown hen staring into the camera.

Bird in my backyard,
staring deep into my eyes,
seeks morsel of truth.
