Cactuses
Of a fringed existence upon a solitary majestic beholden expanse,
Saguaro forest brims an Arizonan desert thirty deep in noble stance,
1000 foot profound ampleness their protrusive inward succulence,
E'er so oft a filtered beauty blossoms unscathed of shielded intense,
Thirty growing crowns shadow a summit as a mauve sun pretense,
Night strips down and starry-eyed cacti glamorize a lunar entrance.

Found About My Fortitude
What we found about friendly fortitude,
Was it would exquisitely, greatly exude,
Protrusive,
And extensive,
From torn forlorn tempestuous platitude.
Let me see you top that one and make it
a commment to this one.
