Below Expectations
She missed two Lunar Faires,
needed 14 good tomato plants
and gave away more than 20
surplus seedlings. Her own
extra are not enough. She failed
by the dozen. Her heirlooms
flopped in coco coir–
didn’t establish
roots worthy of commitment.
She offers Goal Guidance
on Substack, but maybe
they are writing prompts
in disguise. Maybe the problem
all along wasn’t the medium:
Maybe it was the marketing.

Expectations both internal and external are such a double edged sword, aren’t they. Love the feeling you’ve captured here
Fun poem. I love the last verse.
