Excess

Photo of a giant tree trunk, its branches cut off.

“Branches” seems surplus;
limbs of giant ancient trees,
cutting “arms” sounds bad.

Fear

Photo of a poster on a wall that reads “what if it all works out?”

Afraid, I hold back
leaping into the unknown;
trying new coffee.

Past

Close up photo of a bunch of purple agapanthus flowers.

Big blast from the past
the humble agapanthus
memories of home

Rocks

Photo of a yacht jammed into the rocks by the ocean.

Jammed into the rocks
a boat gone out at low tide
arrogant skipper
