Cactus. . .

I went through a period where I was writing lots and lots of epigrams--very short poems. Considering that I will be heading with my family to Arizona and the Grand Canyon next weekend, I thought I would pull out a couple of epigrams inspired by cactus.

Dry
I'm dry as dust, but even cactus blooms.

Cactus come-on
I would like to spank you bare,
with the business end of a prickly pear.
