A city of the desert, A part of our great Southwest; Its magical spell has won us, Of charm it is possessed. We love its glorious sunsets, Its skies of azure blue, Its purple-tinted mountains, Its flowers of every hue. So here's a toast to Phoenix, By nature richly blessed, This city of the desert, A part of our great Southwest. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...WAITRESSING IN THE ROOM WITH A THOUSAND MOONS by MATTHEA HARVEY CANDIED YAMS' by TERRANCE HAYES DINNER OF HERBS by LOUISE MOREY BOWMAN THE BANQUET SONG by KENNETH KOCH SPLITTING AN ORDER by TED KOOSER |
