ode to Southwestern Faerie

Southwestern faerie you look too delicate to live out west
Where the prairie dogs and the tumble weeds never come to a rest
Your orange hair flies away in the tornado weather in a pretty way
Wings are citrus translucent, and lively as if they want to play

You are probably much tougher than those give you credit to be
Have the look of a pirate queen who is a bit wild and free
Your dress and manner remind me of the turquoise and coral of the south
Lovely endearing face you have, with a pretty heart-shaped soft mouth.
