One Night Over


Oh! you night blooming cereus, ghost
flower and pearly stones. Sing out
between quartz; Between crevice,

and rock. Sing for me Sonoran.
Sing iguana after noon. My Chara,
Chuparosa, and red poppy bloom.
Sing for me Sonoran; Pipe-organ
cactus cries. One night over

Sonoran in Rose Boa eyes.

~haze

*Here's the BIG CLUE my friends!
and CHECK IT OUT! It rhymes.
Oh I feel a flu coming on...
HELP!!!
please?*

You get the prize!

But all i have to offer at the moment is a BIG SMILE!

Thank you Philip! The words are names of flora and fauna residing in the Sonoran (southern tip of Arizona into Califonia to Mexico) American US desert! Most of the words are based in the Spanish language also, another reason perhaps they sound so strange...

Damn me and my diaphanous vocabulary. *L*

Oh songstress with edge, you have cut a most melodious track and made the desert wet with beauty...

Haze:

It's so good to have you back.  I've been falling so far behind in my replies that I missed the chance to read your alter-ego's work.

That said, I appreciate a poet who doesn't fall into the trap of thinking that rhymes must occur at the end of lines (Who made that a rule, anyway?).  Very interesting rhyme scheme.  Enjoyed the song, lady bard.  Hasta luego.
