Shadows
Sonoran Desert, Southern Arizona
the greed of shadows—
gobbling both sand and lizard
with impunity

Lovely desert!
Die Sonora Wüste – ich kenne sie, seit ich als Kind “Karl May” gelesen habe 😉
The “Sonora Desert” – I know this name, since I read “Karl May” as a child.
. . . but I didn`t see the desert, when I visited California. We didn’t come south of San Diego.

Greed and envy both at once? There may be no hope for you! 🙂
brilliant!
Even in trying times and under hard conditions greed is ever present! That’s reality you’ve cleverly depicted MMT. Nicely!

awesome haiku. Fits the picture perfectly.
Good grief…I mean, greed! Oh, maybe not good…

I imagine those shadows as pretty few and far between in the desert! So gobble they must! I seem to be running on empty and you are still turning these out, brilliantly . Amazing!
Really, I don’t see emptiness in your work, but a reaching deeper into the well. You haven’t (in my opinion) reached the desert yet. Keep writing! 🙂
