A Poem-A-Day Celebration

Poem submission by kelwomack

Deep in desert sands they reached

High into space where rivers meet.

Twisting slithering through red giants

Standing shoulder to shoulder in grand alliance.

Spires of stone in mushroom form

Pillars where earth exploded and tore

Gorges who split the earth left scars

and monuments like golden Mason jars.

Swaths of crimson paint splatter and dry

Against coppery cliffs in morning light.

Bridges and arches plume from the earth

In hardened explosion gave their birth.

The land stretches, wrinkles, far and wide;

Surveyed by eagles in denim sky.

In the land of needles reaching for clouds,

Monstrous stones take a closing bow.
