Sandra Haight Poet Verse

Notes About The Poem

Desert Memory

Wildebeest, zebra, and gazelle,
      Such a wonderful sight to see.
         Lions, hippos, and elephants;
            Like tiny toys appeared to me.

Above the desert, 'neath blue sky,
      My memory recalls the flights,
         Aloft in those hot air balloons,
             Thrilled by the Serengeti sights.

Mark Woods December 18, 2015 at 7:07 PM How inspiring. I would give my eye teeth to do something like this. Another thing to add to my bucket list. Sandra Haight December 18, 2015 at 10:33 PM Hi Mark, thank you for visiting my poem. Don't be too jealous...I have not done this either! I have been up in a hot air balloon, but not in Africa. It was a fantasy write for me supposedly for a contest. But, so happy you liked it! Sandra
