Mirage

Thing i did for Andy's competition, its hard to describe a desert xD

Shimmering flats of golden sand sparkle in the blazing sun. 

The heat so intense that the air itself starts to ripple and form a mirage.

Dunes are constantly changing with the wicked winds that break down the mountain then build another.

lizards scurry along the floor and burrow into the sand to avoid the heat, whereas the cacti bath in it.

Interesting! Described a desert quite vividly:)

Indeed, the desert is quite difficult to describe but your poem encompassed its marvel with equal drama. Mirages are a continuing wonder. I love the image of bathing cacti! I wonder if they use dry water :-) Thank you for sharing your poetry. It is greatly appreciated and much enjoyed. Hope to read more of your poems soon. Cheers.

:) Love it. It was almost like I was there. Well worded. :)

I think you described it admirably - the scene you paint - like a picture I want to walk into - the sun and heat - it's all so scenic! nice!

I understand your pain about how hard it is to describe a desert, but you've done a very good job. I had a great image in my mind of a great scenery. You've done brilliantly.
