Southwestern Woman

Hot sun...Burning Earth...Molded from Red clay,Covered with Callichie,Cooked Hard
in the Sun.   Strong with thought...yet, woman screams and not heard...Lonely, like the
mountain covered in snow...Hot Sun...Touch me and make me new.


Premium Member What Kind of Fish Is That

giant colorful fish from the turquoise southwestern lakes
began to stack themselves like happy golden brown pancakes
Lilly decided to join them to say hello, her hair floating like flakes.
What kind of fish is that? One asked. Without fins for goodness sakes!

Florida

you should come down to florida
this time of the year.

i miss you so much,
baby, i wish you were here

so i could drown you
in the rain,
the ocean,
and my tears.

i'm in paradise,
and you got what you prayed for
last year in the southwestern hemisphere.

Premium Member Ghostly Malvern Manor

ghostly Malvern Manor
haunting southwestern Iowa
growling in her attic
harsh warnings to psychic visitors
no bodily harm yet that I know of
definite psychological warfare
a few have run out screaming
others notice nothing at all
resolved to ignore the possibility of ghosts

The Ship of State

"The Ship of State"

On Ship! New billows sweep thee out

Seaward. What wilt thou? Hold the port, be stout

See'st not thy mast

How rent by stiff Southwestern blast? 

Thy side, of rowers how forlorn?

Thine hull, with groaning yards, with rigging torn,

Can ill sustain

The fierce, and ever fiercer main;

Desert Life

In the desert dewdrops are sparkling over cactus thorn like icy diamonds this Southwestern morn ~*~ warm winds through the Mesquite Trees the sweet smell of sage lingers in the breeze ~*~ the desert Sun climbs past invisible clouds the burning sky melts the misty wet shroud ~*~ the mercury is high but the air is dry somewhere under the tangerine sky life in Arizona
