Kim Rodrigues Poet Terza Rima

Notes About The Poem

North of Nogales

Ye old West signposts, green with needle-spurs:
Santa Rita prickly pear, pancake prickly,
plenteous buckets and sunset pink occurs.

It’s mountain time to sip some wine dearly
as the cacti shadows wax in the desert
and the elephant head’s fading quickly.

Breakfast in the stucco casa like dessert -
a dutch baby with segmented mandarin fruit.
Golden Retriever’s friendly and the striped cat’s curt.

Kabob sidles through crack - cat’s bedroom route,
lies on the visitor’s quilt - comfortably cute.

Victor Buhagiar February 10, 2022 at 6:08 AM Aren't the cereus beautiful, especially with so many varieties. I used to grow them from seed. I once had over a thousand of them. Until this corrupt government made us pay for certificates. Hugs. Kim Rodrigues February 10, 2022 at 6:14 AM Boo to the corrupt government! Sounds like your garden was beautiful! Blessings and hugs ~ Kim
