Desert Poems
Amongst Rocks, Dunes, Cliffs, and Canyons,
Poetry breathes in Arid Lands.
Beneath the Sun and Moon and Stars
There is Life, Death, and Drama,
Where the Fittest, the Luckiest, the most Horrid,
and sometimes the Prettiest
Survive.
No less so
than the Prairie Rose
Desert Forms please
the Eye
and Soul.
[These two poems were presented at the introduction to Splendor in Spines, 5th Edition, 2018, by Michael J. Papay - released without restrictions for copy, translation, and technological conversion.]
