It’s been a few days since I’ve written a poem but here is my offering for today’s prompt, a haibun (a hybrid form that combines prose with haiku; this is the first time I’ve ever heard of it) about the place where I live (outside Phoenix, Arizona).
Low Desert
by ARHuelsenbeck
Sun beats down relentlessly, and there’s been no measurable rain for nine months, yet somehow, even in the wilderness, the prevailing color is green. Desert leaves are wispy structures shimmering as breezes waft through them like a comb. In populated areas, blossoms riot in showy color.
Rain is a rumor
Sprinklers turn the desert soil
Into oasis
Love “Rain is a rumor.”

Love the “Rain is a rumor” as well and “breezes waft through them like a comb!” I wrote about Arizona too for this prompt, love the desert.
