Poem Artwork

                                      Bedouin tribes

 

   Mounds  and heaps of dry sand land

 Desert winds like wild fire blow

Hot winds swirls, sun shines bright

The dusk fears to relieve the heat

Hot air hangs on  and fangs

Clouding moods,the air slowly cools

  Bedouin tribes on camels ride   

 Lovers of the desert wide

  Mother land like  mother loved

 

The desert mouse with soft  wet fur now

To and fro it moves in the gleam of light

Collecting seeds and then to burrow deep

 

  In the night  when dewdrops appear

 On leaves and flowers of  desert plants

Quenching thirsts and cleansing paths

 Homes and wares  it engulfs 

 Dew  cooling  free and fair

Holds all that it touches in sweet embrace

 Prepare for day’s hot sweeping air

I love the desert. Of course our Southwestern desert is different from your poem. Still, it has a haunting mystery about it and a ruggedness.
Very nice.

It doesn't get much simpler nor as harsh as the life of a
Bedouin. I'll take the oasis!

Wonderful poetic interpretation of...how? and why?
nature complements Bedouin tribes souls with a sense
of belonging.
Thank you J.K. for sharing your superb writing.

Nicely written words in a photographic way.
Yes, I love the desert, especially late at night and early in the day.

An emotional view of a very harsh place that is somehow, also very peaceful and full of its own type of life.

Let the sands drift through time,
A desert poem simply sublime.

I can already hear the Arabian tunes in the background. Very well expressed.

This was fun to read. I've never been to a desert, but your poem sent me there. Thank you for sharing.
