Desert Rubies

Ocotillo blossoms,
Little gems of red,
Queens would gladly wear you—
Or so someone said!

    The desert floor is grayish as the Spring blooms are falling...so these look as desert rubies, as jewelry that would make a pastel necklace that is colorful to wear. On a neck or in the desert too!
