suddenly among the thorns
a haze of blossoms

    I so love the desert…so barren looking, yet teeming with life everywhere! I was in Tucson at the beginning of March, and imagine that everything is popping out by now! Enjoy spring in the desert!!!

    Thanks to Carpe Diem, I don’t have to wait until Friday to read your poetry, I see it every day! I saw a book today that reminded me of you and your poems about the Sonoran Desert. Either 1) you wrote it or 2) you read it every day or 3) you might like to read it or 4) it could be the title of a book of your poetry! It is called ‘Desert Graces, Meditations on the Sonoran Desert’ written by Thomas M. Santa CSsR. Happy Weekend!

      Thanks for the book alert. It’s certainly not mine, but I will select #3 and #4 from your menu of choices! 🙂

    Isn’t that the truth. As if over nite, the flowers, they come.

    I forgot to ask you when I was here before, what kind of shrub/tree is that?

      I’m still trying to identify it. When I figure it out, I’ll let you know. I really don’t know everything about the Sonoran Desert!

    ‘in a barren way’ there’s nothing barren about this. Just lovely 🙂

    With barrenness like this, a desert would seem to be an inviting place indeed!

    Beautiful! I love the way you’ve used barrenness, thorns with the haze of blossoms. I love the imagery and that picture is lovely!
