Notes About The Poem

Cacti Fever

The beauty of the scorching hot desert plains,
Is evident in turquoise skies and blooming cacti,
And at first unlikely glimpse, the memory remains,
Long after cherry red sun has left the evening sky.

Blooms of pink, red, orange and every other hue,
Provide lush charm on the sweltering desert sand,
And the occasional traveler receives a fervid view,
A sight that commands one to pause where they stand!

Great imagery, Evelyn. When I was small mom would send me out to cut the small tender ones for cooking. I don't eat.
