Great example of Chekhovโs Gun

And don't let this example unintentionally discourage you, it's okay to put setup, even if you never deliver on a bunch of it, because it's better to have and not need than vice-versa:

Sleeping fields
in brooding monochrome.
Like plaintive notes
of a distant reed flute,
a longing
breaking at duskโ
cadence of gathering dark.
In the gloaming,
trailing light in a bruised haze
as summer evenings wane.
Nighthawksโ
their solitude sharing the same sky,
my sky.
Lost in my thoughts
Dripping in utter darkness
My world closes in
It hurts to be awake
Sleeping my only peace I know
My universe is so damn empty
Existing hurts

A mauve May eveningโ
verdant woods,
mossy trails
of jewelled jacarandas,
amethyst in soft silhouette.
Lilac flower-fallโ
flickering down
like flecks of twilight,
a drift of scattered petals.
Floral fresco
a dappled sunset purple,
spring's delight
of light and tender pastels.
Chrome-blue,
braided in pearl and sapphire,
flits a mason bee
as riffs of murmuring wings
ripple.
It weaves through the grove
cradling the blush
of cherry blossoms.
May,
nestled in sylvan silk
of roseate sheen.
Paeans of petal pink,
woodland remembering
a wistful spring.
