SPRING IN THE ARIZONA DESERT, by                    
First Line: A tempest of rain
Last Line: On the desert.
Subject(s): Arizona; Deserts; Food & Eating; Spring


A tempest of rain
Has wakened the heart of the desert.
The giant Sahuaro is crowned
With white flowers;
It has filled its arms with them.
Pastels of dawn
Glide from the mountains
And the grey Cholla is a tree of pink coral.
While the slender stems of the Ocotillo
Kindle into small flames.
The Great Spirit smiles
On the desert.
