Gleaming Arid Grassland

Windmill tanque de agua entre rocas...


Windmill water tank among boulders
watchtower over gleaming grassland
arid plain lit by cast of sun...

Eucalyptus Waking

Greeting the Arizona sun at dawn...


Arid zone of two seasons,
summer and winter, daily waits
nightfall to cool the desert floor.

Respite in which it rehydrates,
nevertheless, usually greeted
each morn on a new date...

With the sun it cannot ignore.

Leave-Taking

Nature is a sentiment...


Post hard spring rain,
that soaked needy desert floor,
there a single droplet remains.
Clasped to twig leaf branch,
unwilling to take leave,
and fall without the chance,
to bid adios to burgeoning flowers. 
Assignees of the tiny water beads
contribution to baptizing largesse,
a rich offering to arid land enhanced.
