Notes About The Poem

Sun, Sand and Flowers

The sunny pleasures of cactus blooms,
brighten aged gold, and sunset rooms,
Like sunbirds flitting in purple plumes,
once dusk has known many perfumes.

Prickly cactus blooms, orange sun gift,
Also enjoyed during the dawn red shift.
Denizens of golden gritty sand, hottest,
creating dunes where the wind is swift.

Lovely picture of cactus in Renoir style. Once I had over a thousand species, but now I'm too tired.
