For Joanne Morcom’s Joshua Tree:
A sense of longing and hope, evoked by the image of the tree pointing, not with just one, but with all its branches, towards a kinder, perhaps less barren landscape.
even after
drenching summer rain–
red/orange flames burn brighter
Royal Poinciana in bloom
highlights the night
–
flamboyant tree, peacock flower, flame of the forest, and flame tree; but here in florida
the Royal Poinciana in bloom should be considered one of the wonders of the world. vivid reddish/orange flowers continually take my breath away; after all these years…

the desert brighter than the sun
Beautiful and unexpected. The very essence of haiku! Bravo!
