Best Bedouin Poems

Freelance wanderer carefully navigating the vast expanse
Shadow warrior doth stealthily advance without 
remonstrance
With bartered lance, pawned knife; abridged parlance
Shuffling in tantric harmony o'er unforgiving terrain; 
nuanced eccentric
Camel cavalcade, entrancing spectacle across glistening 
sands prancing

The Bedouin relieved the camel of its cargo with rough, calloused hands.
With routine learned from his ancestors camp was prepared for the night.

Its fabric woven 
From rough goat-hair- 
A shady cover
