“Hedging Bets”
If you hedge a bet,
you will certainly regret,
a smaller profit.
"Don't put things off…it may be later than you think."

“Delayed Gratification”
The untrimmed hedge rises up,
despite the minimal sunlight exposure.
It taunts me in several ways.
As I walk by, it assaults me with guilt grenades.
I say it’s winter, what of it!
The hedge continues on.
It insults my enthusiasm for other activities.
It strains my joy in escaping the duty of caring for it.
As I walk away from it, its silence calls me back.
There is no gratitude in completion.
The hedge will continue to grow its expectation.
Maybe next time I buy a house,
I’ll make sure there are no hedgerows.
