Ironwood blossoms
Fragrant after spring time rains
Victim of summer

Hell On Earth Has Come
Hell on earth has come
Scorching both sand and pavement
Sonoran summer

NOTE: As I post this it is 103 degrees F and we have not yet reached the hottest part of our day yet. The projected temperature by Saturday is slated to be 118 degrees F. Summer has arrived in Arizona!

Wave of heat rising
Into the blue clear abyss
Summertime desert
She’s made inhabitable
By man’s ingenuity

Summer’s Heat, July
Summer’s heat, July
Birds…bees sing their joyful songs
By nature’s design.
Sadly we too oft’ ignore
Beauty that lay before us.
Distracted by life
All just to try to survive
We get very lost.
Perhaps if we took a step back
What we’re missing would be found.
Look to the sky, grass,
Look to the simplicity in life
For what’s important.
This is what Mother gave us
To keep from going insane.

Warm Sun on My Face
Warm sun on my face
Desert breeze whisking my skin
Southwestern summer
The desert knows no seasons
For it is its own master

Leaf saunters downward
Unable to cling to life
Winter has conquered

Farewell with seasons change
Returning in spring

The Cool Morning Air (Tanka)
The cool morning air
Dew clinging to window panes
How quickly things changed
Now that fall is upon us
First snow can’t be far behind
