I Blog Poetry and Prose

I'm Back!

Idal (Justice), 13 Qawl (Speech) 175 B.E. - Wednesday, December 5, 2018

Red roses in a crystal vase echo
The music of love.

I'm Back!

I'm Back! It's a cold autumn afternoon here in Las Vegas. It's been five days since I made a blog entry, and, I think, my fingers forgot how to type. The problem could just as easily be the cold, so I need to warm my fingers ups by typing. Therefore, this entry will be poem I wrote, several years ago. I'm going through transcripts of old poems and transferring them to my poetry journals here on writing.com.

Evening in The Cactus Garden

Evening's breeze blows
through Regent Schola Trees
scenting the Henderson air.

As the sun sets
behind Mount Charleston
spring's cool breeze sing lullabies
to Torch Cactus,
California Gold,
Trailing Lantana,
and Joshua Trees.

I wrote this poem on 4 Jamal 161 B.E. The inspiration was a visit, Mom and I took, to a cactus in located in Henderson.
