My Home
Others hate the desert, but I love it.
Rated:

Desert light dances
Trims cactus golden by day
Paints the skies kaleidoscopic
Then follows with star studded velvet.

Desert fauna delights
Hummingbirds glitter and zip
Snakes with jeweled skin slither
Lizards do push-ups on rocks.

Mountains change hourly
Their harsh, jagged peaks
Split by deep narrow canyons
Shadowed blues and purples.

Dry air wafts sweat away
Cools quickly in the evening
And most importantly,
Sends tourists packing.
