Fiery Little Flowers

Lantana blossoms, Southern California

Fiery little flowers
Blazing mid the green,
Not a thing about you
Could be called routine!

Desert Rubies

Cholla cactus, Anza-Borrego Desert State Park, Southern California

Cactus Maiden, sharp of thorn,
How I wish that you were shorn
Of each deadly barb and lance—
Then I’d ask you out to dance!
