Desert Aloha
Southwest has a lonesome spirit
her expansive skies hug with an ocean’s embrace
as scorpions slyly slither in sand
as scorpions slyly slither in sand
Give me geckos with suction cup feet
and clickity clack music dancing on walls
as the ocean lulls the island to sleep
the stars promise wishes come true

Gorgeous! “her expansive skies hug with an ocean’s embrace”– yes!!!
Thank you so much I appreciate your embrace of my piece!
“clickity clack music dancing on walls” has a Lewis Carroll-like feel to it
Thank you. I love Lewis Carrol, in fact, “Alice in Wonderland” is one of my most spectacular books. I have my original classic on my shelf with a number of other childrens’ books. Love the sound/rhythm connection.
All the s sounds really do that beach swishing thing ….I like it
Thank you Coleman, yes, the beach swishing thing gotta love that being a California girl!
At first, when I read “Southwest…expansive skies” I thought this was about an airline.
Tom, I hope it made you fly above the clouds!
