Para/Poem Challenge "Open"

Loathing the sight of sick trees,
I cannot erase the memory of
the Dutch Elm Disease, how
those all-too-solid trunks pumped
into over-muscled shapes, twisting
with lumps, losing posture. Yet,
life prevailed through opulent
pruning, an endeavor bearing up
a crop that met the deadline. As such,
when badly needed, ambition
should not seek moderation.

(Hello Para/Poem, hope you're all doing well.)
