Congratulations to Don! Don is our 2nd runner up in our 4th annual Los Angeles Poet Society Summer Poetry Contest with his poem, Joshua Tree Trip!
JOSHUA TREE TRIP
smiles in the car
two hours later arrive
petroglyphs on rocks
balance ourselves beside
boulders that dwarf us
we stroll hand-in-hand
past the many arms
of Joshua, single-fingered
Yucca, sit on stone “benches”
view Coachella Valley vista
Palm Springs tiny buildings
haze over Salton Sea
San Andreas Fault
pose with peaks
climb edges, bark
at the bluest sky
while nature’s personalities
show in formation
volcanic birthplace
rising and defeated limbs
perform poetry to space
Buddha-like mountains
silent sentinels patiently
outlast manmade windmills
