Desert Canopy
Desert Canopy
sparse hidden life shaded from tormenting sun crawling, hovering and hopping in the early dawn and night air clean air clear air oh so dry in town man-made oasis filters radiance dense canopy deciduous color

sparse hidden life shaded from tormenting sun.”Wow” so amazingly right on! very good words and pic,cuz i`ve seen it for real!!!!
What a lovely photo. You’re inspiration for the poem? Autumn is my favorite time of the year. Perfect closing couplet. Thanks for the visit and comment on my post.
You have really captured well the feel of heat, and then the relief of shade. The picture fits your words perfectly. Thanks very much for sharing this with I Saw Sunday. 🙂
Golden leaves always catch my eye–and my breath! 🙂
Such a beautiful image of photography and words. It seems like Lancaster has developed a lot since the 50’s when I visited a few times. As has Reno, another high desert.
Oh, this is beautiful. I love the last two lines.
Beautiful words to go with the image. Where would be all be without that precious water we all take so for granted, unlike those in hot dry countries where they know how precious every single drop is.
Lovely.
very good – I love this vivid imagery
a beautiful picture with wonderful words to set the scene ~

“sparse hidden life

Describes our area after history making summer drought!!
We see very little Autumn — 😦
a concrete and imagistic piece…
Williams would be proud of you. ; )
the images evoked from the concretism is on par.
I can imagine and feel your description (though through secondary mental perceptions.)
Hello.
