My Beloved Desert

I have this small birdbath in my backyard apparently the talk of the whole Bird-town -- not much larger than a good-size hubcap, one would think it was Lake Erie size takes on different perspective in the desert; like a prairie dog is fat pheasant to a snake -- a jackrabbit seldom fast enough for a hungered, blood-thirsty coyote once targeted -- even a cartoon Willy would shed his cartoon ink, in the real desert~ life here, first is all about drink.

Thank you, Joe; likewise my friend. We do our humble best. As Emily said: "I'm a nobody..." -- I love this poem. So pleased it has received another comment. Thank you again.

I love this, Joe! Perspective! Like snow in Georgia versus places that get snow all the time, plus even seeing the snow on your own property is just different. I’ve been to the desert (Arizona) and also boated on Lake Erie. Love that final thought: life here, first is all about drink. A fave
