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!

Billy got a good bite out of this thick-witted ham!

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.
