Raven’s Wing Poetry

“Arizona” by ~brittfaye

I wrote a second poem for this last week’s Read Write Poem Prompt (which was to take a poem in one form and rewrite it in another form). I took “Arizona, Remembered”, originally written as three stanzas of rhyme royal, and turned it into a Hay(na)ku chain. Enjoy.

————————————————————————–
God’s
paintbrush danced
in Arizona’s desert -

sand
was a
pale peach canvas

for
giant saguaros
and desert trees;

red
rocks stood
against blue skies,

regimental
and perfect
grand rouge canyons.

Daddy
drove; I
took mental photographs

so
that I
would never forget.

Those
days are
now long gone;

I
still remember
my childhood paradise

forged
in that
painted desert kingdom.
