Heads Or Tails! April 29 TAILS Prompt: Share a special memory
After the Saffron Flowers
Drawn toward the land
of wind-polished stone
arroyos breeding rabbit brush
Joshua trees that curl
where hawks knife endless sky
and death is dry and clean.
I place my palm
on alabaster marble,
Buddha belly of
the newborn boy,
watch the desert
brown and cracked
crawl across my hand.

You are amazing how you come up with all this poetry on a theme.
I hope you can stop by my blog and read my entry -- I am sure you will get a good laugh workout.
Lovely poetic images of this special time in your life! Thanks for sharing them today.
I used HoT (at Small Reflections) this week as a way to ‘revisit’ some of my earliest blog posts and remind myself just why I entered the Blogosphere in the first place.
Hugs and blessings,
"uddha belly of
the newborn boy"
I am sure that would be a lovely memory...
Hi Sue, I like your images here - "Hawks knife endless sky" and "Buddha belly of/the newborn boy" and "desert .. . crawl across my hand."

Beautiful! I love stopping by and reading your poems :)
what a nice and unusual approach to heads and tails :)
this is just so outstanding. I love the image of the old hand against the new little belly and the way you described that hand.
I agree with everything that has already been said! A fine poem!
I love the imagry this poem gives the reader, thanks for sharing this for HorT & visiting mine.
You never cease to surprise me by doing something different. I had to look up 'arroyos' so I learned something too.
the poems are great, I remember a friend who named her baby joshua after a miscarriage.
Very creative. I have never tried poetry somehow I don't think it is me.
Very lovely & creative. :)
