Broken
A dead saguaro cactus, Sonoran Desert, Maricopa County, Southern Arizona.
Broken saguaro,
how long will you keep standing
before I break too?

Sips

Arizona heat—
tall saguaros quench their thirst
with sips of water

Blue Monday: Saguaro Forest
Saguaro cactus “forest,” Pinal County, Arizona
Saguaros stand guard through the night,
Ensuring the desert’s all right,
So when morning comes
(Without roll of drums)
The landscape appears calm and bright.

Bones
“Bones” of a long-dead saguaro cactus, Sonoran Desert, Southern Arizona
Desiccated bones—
noisy crow on the mountain,
let them rest in peace!

Saguaro flowers
Saguaro cactus blossoms, Yuma Conservation Garden, Yuma, Arizona
Saguaro flowers glowing
Against the bright blue sky
Fill me with greatest pleasure,
And here’s the reason why:
I think there’s nothing finer
Than seeing a white bloom
Juxtaposed against the sky
To chase away my gloom.

News in cactus land
Saguaro cactus, Yuma Conservation Garden, Yuma, Arizona
What’s the news in cactus land?
What’s the TV say?
Is there any hope that rain
Will settle dust today?
Maybe someone has a tip
I can take to heart.
Wait! There’s always NPR—
I’ve heard folks there are smart!
