Blue Monday: Desert Sunrise
Sunrise paints the sky in rainbow hues, Yuma County, Arizona.
The sun’s coming up, the hills are aglow,
Everything’s eager to get up and go;
Lizards, and rattlers, and doves in the tree
Soon will be stirring—thank goodness, not me!

Blue Monday: Graveyard Blues
A decorated headstone at Yuma Pioneer Cemetery, Yuma, Arizona.
A graveyard without some bright blue
Is dismal and dingy to view.
So bring on the paint,
I’m sure you won’t faint
By splashing around the bright hue!

Dread
A ruined stone wall overlooks Willow Lake, Prescott, Arizona.
Rattler whom I dread,
will you strike me as I walk
among the ruins?

Blue Monday: Photographer
A photographer takes aim on the courthouse lawn in Prescott, Arizona.
Beyond the photographer’s head
Are traces of blue, green, and red—
A colorful sight
That’s sure to delight
The person who isn’t yet dead!
