Will creosote bushes blossom
scenting the air
with tiny yellow stars
ever come?
Yes, there will be
creosote bushes and monsoon rain.
But now it is summer.
Now there is sunshine
and we wear sun block
and dark sun glasses.
So hot!
Feel it.
So I've broken my verses into several posts. This poem is inspired by Eileen Spinelli from her picture book NOW IT IS WINTER. What is your favorite thing about the mountains, the plains, the city, the beach? Try writing a list poem about all the things you love about your place. Have fun writing.
Children's Poetry is written for the child in each of us.
Joy,
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed the question/answer approach. I'm glad you're sharing about your summer setting.
In summertime in the desert, about all we can do is sit around and talk about the wonderful desert--and drink lots of water.
