Sonoran Desert

Sonoran Desert
Plants were standing silently.
The wretched heat soared today.
Dust flew around violently,
keeping visitors away.

Food and life was synergy.
Agile gerbils would scurry.
Seeds they found give energy
to avoid foes, they hurry.

This day has no compromise.
Danger is in the desert.
Gerbils seek to colonize,
avoid risks it will exert.
