| Palo Verde Blossoms |
Sunshine
Coffee on
the patio
Mesquite
trees in flower
Pollen
everywhere
Goldfinches
flittering
Roses in
bloom,
Sunshine in
the morning,
Shade in the
afternoon.
Sunshine
Potted
geranium by my chair
Lizards
tumble in the yard
White-winged
doves serenade
Hummingbirds
hovering,
Palo Verde
trees in bloom,
Insects a-buzzing,
Insects a-buzzing,
Sunshine in
the morning,
Shade in the
afternoon.
Sunshine
Cactus wrens
are calling,
Yellow
blossoms on prickly pear,
A coronet of
creamy blossom
Atop
towering saguaros
Sky as blue
as a lizard’s belly,
Ocatillos are
in bloom,
Sunshine in the
morning,
Shade in the
afternoon,
It's springtime in the desert,
It's springtime in the desert,
It's Spring!
