.He said to Miss Fay,
It's been a long day,
And I'd love to stay,
But the wife's on her way!
The last thing Miss Fay heard,
Was his tires hitting the curb,
Don't let this story disturb,
It's just a little fantasy blurb
You can interpret "long day" any way you want. LOL!!!

Sitting here looking out my back door at the desert and was inspired to write this.
Always, Always
Endure
Stoic saguaros,
Capture the sunset
Reach for the stars
Shelter creatures near and far
Tell them they are safe here
Regally stand tall and absorb summer rains
Gather rainbows and share the pot of gold
Nourish nubs of life on your massive trunk
For they ensure survival of your bloodline
Hold yourself proudly my desert king
Relish your strength and heritage
Spread your fertile seeds
Kiss the clouds
Always, always
Endure

Tyr ... what is the name of this style. I thought it would be fun to use 1 word first line, 2 words second line up to 8 per line and then start backing down. Very interesting.

Great poem, that form I am not familiar with myself. Poetry has had a few hundred new forms created in the last 2 decades.
Ive even created a new form about two years ago myself...
I am more interested in the poem since it has great depth, flow and message driven connectivity with Nature.
This is indeed a top level poem.
There is no disruption in the connections.
Thats great talent when writing this deep and in such a smooth flow...
However, many would not see all of that-perhaps only another poet would.
Since its deep with every effort put into the message(poem) and very little in simplifying the write to appeal to a broader and lesser informed base!
Its a poem written for interpretation at a higher level, as in a maturity of writing that says this is it, decipher if you can see its greatness.
So like a poet writing directly to another poet.
Which shows a deeper understanding than one would expect to see in a novice poet.
The form interests me, may give it a try later tonight. --Tyr

Maybe it's the Merlot talking, but Mr. Saguaro seems kinda phallic to me.
Very nice, Sassy

Ok, my friend as promised... I gave it a shot... and dedicate this poem to you.. -Tyr
Withhold and Release
Withhold
Resplendent vigor,
Dancing upon rainbows
Drinking sweet red wine
Hold her in sweet embrace,
whisper, darling you look so fine
Await that moment you know will come
That softest kiss, sent to find just you
A memory gifted as a very great treasure
Painting etched into the mind's eagle eye
Remind yourself she is a gift
Promise never to say goodbye
Hold that blessed moment
Snapshot in time
Resplendent vigor,
Released

Ouch, ouch, ouch. Guess once you have seen them up close and personal that's the last thing you'll think they look like.
And I'm surrounded by thousands of them. I live on the edge of the Saguaro National Park. Some of them have so many branches they look like trees.
They are protected. We have some that are over 200 years old. You can't cut them down. You need to hire a professional to come out and dig them up for transplanting. And, they weigh tons.
The spines from the dead ones are like wood.
This saguaro form is not as common and rare.

Friday Nights
Waiting in line
Table for five
Peanuts on floor
Country songs blaring
Crazy loud voices
Time to dine
Bottle of beer
Bread and butter
Petite filet rare
Loaded baked potato
Extra sour cream
Crisp Cesar salad
Ice cream sundae
Time to go
Kisses and hugs………
Life is good
