The Mystery of the Four Cactus

No one knows how this Desert became about The desert has cactus There are two rolls of them One row is separated by a road On the other side Another row spread In the evening the cactus Light up the cactus bright Further in the desert Are cactus curved Like a waterfall Only in the eve During the day the The hunched cactus Yet remain in their shape All this happened in the strange desert

I am sure the desert has many secrets and many types of cactus. I would be to chicken to walk in it as am sure would step on a snake. Interesting poem not any desert here in Canada but some of our province looks like it in dry season. love phyl

Hi Darlene… your poem brought back memories of my trip to Arizona. It was the first time I ever saw a cactus and thet come in many types in Arizona. Also, many snakes. I took a tour of the desert and I really liked it. It’s so hot in Arizona.. not a place for me to live. Visiting is fine. Pangie x

I sent you mail about the many cacti, plural for cactus.enjoy, I answered your questions in mail. Arizona is wonderful.In February that year, temps got up in the 80’s. But I really enjoyed winning that trip. I loved white water rafting, even though I was scared to death.)) Pangie

Great description! I have spent many hours walking the high deserts of Arizona, entranced by countless wonders. Nothing like the desert in bloom -- cactus have gorgeous blossoms -- enchanting!

The desert has many secrets. Because most of us only see the surface. We may never see one of its best kept secrets, its beauty.

Nice to know my friend - the desert is mysterious, how some plants survive in that extreme heat, they rarely see rain so their roots must go very, very hope I should imagine - Hope you are doing well Darlene. Hugs and blessings, Jennifer.
