Stealthily she comes,
brushing shadows in the sand,
then wipes them away.

    I especially enjoy the fact that you share so much of the beauty of the Sonoran desert with us. I find the images to be breathtaking. Not to mention the double treat we get with your fantastic haikus!

    The sandy and sepia desert floor is a stunning canvas – nature complies and and artistic shadow is ‘painted’ on. Nice!

    You’ve shared another beautiful desert scene, MMT. Looks so peaceful in the wilderness.

    Mother Nature can be stealthy indeed.

    Beautiful imagery in that poem. It puts me in mind of Tibetan sand mandalas, painstakingly created and then swept away, in acceptance of the impermanence of all things.

    Is your home near the desert or on the desert? After hearing Byrd Baylor speak at a Young Authors event, I thought I’d like living on the desert. (I was a group leader [and school representative in charge of organizing YA] for students then. I loved hearing authors talk about their early beginnings!

    In open desert
    There are no fences. What can
    Hold back the shadows?
