Mission accomplished!

Mission accomplished!
Me at the end of a workday!

Short lived

Exacting yearnings
Collected assiduously;
Yes, nostalgia!





Spotlight

Hardy exotics,
More expensive than ever;
Daphne mezereum.




Shrubbery

Disparate array
Of innumerable plantea;
A vista supreme!
Secrets

Rocks, rough-hewn timbers,
Desirable patterns eschewed;
Gardens most loved!

Selbstüberschätzung

Consolidated
On a broad plain, ambitious
Dominance prevails!
Selbstüberwindung




It was too remote
And isolated to be
Easily conquered

And held in guidance
For our conscience in glassy
Weighed dark indulgence.

La perfide qui lui
A prodigué doux conseils
Et beaux semblants,

Tout en pensant à
Une autre affirmation,
En fait un martyr

Des coups redoublés
Du destin qui martèle
Ses portes fermées.

Trees in Paradise
Planted in neat rows, quincunx,
Diamond in the rough,

Made up of the first
Even and the first odd numbers,
A god being born

For universal
Repeated flagellation;
Anticipation!

Alternative facts

Considerations
Of never ending interests
For toady bootlickers

And philosophers
Before luminous causes
Of trumping despair.
