Longing
Amid the sparse vegetation of the Anza-Borrego Desert State Park, Southern California, a lone tree stands out.
Triple-digit day—
a tree in the wilderness
longs for winter’s rains.

Lonely Place
A blush spreads across the sky at day’s end in Anza-Borrego Desert State Park, Southern California.
In this lonely place,
where will you rest for the night,
weary little dove?

Scream
An almost cloudless day makes it easy for raptors to hunt in California’s Anza-Borrego Desert State Park.
A few passing clouds
can’t mute a hawk’s piercing scream—
the field mice tremble.

Blue Monday: Rainbow
A rainbow brightens part of the Anza-Borrego Desert State Park, Southern California.
Even a rainbow brighter than bright
Can never begin to outshine the night;
But hang it high in a desert place
And watch the barrenness glow with grace!

Haiku My Heart: Faint Is My Path
Unrelenting sun bears down on every living thing at Anza-Borrego Desert State Park, Southern California.
With no walking stick,
how distant seem the mountains
and how faint my path!

Blue Monday: Barrel Cactus
Barrel cactus, Anza-Borrego Desert State Park, Southern California.
High above the cactuses in the clear blue sky
Winter rainclouds sometimes come, sometimes multiply.
Not today, however, there’s not a cloud in sight;
Perfect for the cactuses: hot and dry and bright!

Nectar
Anza-Borrego Desert State Park, Southern California.
Will you find nectar
beyond the mountain’s shadow,
desert butterfly?
