Three Desert Snow Haiku
Desert Snow
Three Desert Snow Haiku
beyond the desert
mountains capped with virgin snow
rare combination
desert mountain high
snow way past the horizon
lizards gaze in awe
new desert landscape
delighful Joshua Trees
winter came today

Wonderful writing! Thanks so much for sharing these pieces with I Saw Sunday. x
desert and snow – somehow I never pictured the two together 🙂
lovely writing, Bat-Ami
I enjoyed the last two of your haiku and other poems on your blog.
Oops, I said that wrong. I enjoyed the last two of your haiku the most and other poems on your blog. Sometimes my fingers are slower than my intentions. Sorry. What I liked about the last two haiku was the strength of the last lines: The lizards gazed and the snow came. It always delights me when haiku have an action statement that summarizes the rest of the poem and, at the same time, contains a little surprise.
I guess you can play vortex in the desert too, though I presume you want to preserve you water and have minimal movement.
Wonderful contribution to ABC Wednesday – thanks so much.

I have been looking at your blog; you are VERY creative!!! Thanks for stopping in at my place. It has been a joy experiencing yours.
To view desert and snowy mountain and shadows in one view space must be amazing! Lovely photo and descriptive haiku!

Totally unusual combination! hot and cold! love it and the way you describe it, beautiful!
I love Joshua trees – and what an amazing snow sight!
Love lizards gaze in awe!

Excellently seasonal words.
so happy to share your beauty of nature, a soft pure blanket of snow.
Wonderful haiku for an amazing photograph.
Gorgeous photograph. I miss the high desert with snow capped mountains in the distance. Your haiku fits perfectly.
Those poor lizards really don’t know what to do with snow, do they? 🙂

Your haiku are exquisite. You put a lot of energy into them, a great deal of artistic creativity and it shows. Just lovely.

Sand and snow is such a remarkable combination! Definitely worth a few haiku of tribute! Delightful!

Love the image – lizards gaze in awe.
Along with the lizards, I am awestruck! 🙂

I enjoyed reading … thank you for sharing your seasonal perspective. I know it is possible, just had not thought of snow and desert before now.
Day 19
I used to live in Tucson and we saw this phenomenon. A ski slope visible from our desert location. Hmm. A very odd sensation.
Amazing Haiku set.. thanks for writing…
