Coinciding Events

Today's prompt is pretty complex, but fun too. I can't explain all of it here, so just check the link if you don't know.

Coinciding Events

The fringe of winter.
Spring is close,
but unreachable.
Come the spring,
the blazing torch
will rise into the sky,
stowing away the spirit
of winter.

The sea is calm;
a dark, aquatic tone.
A limp octopus
massages a reef of coral.
He startles a diver.
Octopus doesn't care.

A pail of apples
surrounded by wattles.
But one is bruised.
It is over ripe.
No longer allowed
to be eaten.
