Vermillion Cliffs National Monument — Panorama by kenne
A Beautiful land under attack
Managed by people who don’t
Care for its natural beauty.
Steep eroded escarpments
Exposing hundreds of layers
Of richly colored rock strata.
A lost land filled with hoodoos,
Slot canyons, towering cliffs with
Undulating curves of sandstone.

Scopes and cameras
Black hawks on the horizon
Serious birders.

Joshua Tree — Image by kenne
The splendor of the Joshua tree
is as unique and identifiable
to the Mohave Desert
as the majestic saguaro cactus
is to the Sonoran Desert.

The Open Road — Image by kenne
“Afoot and light-hearted I take to the open road,
Healthy, free, the world before me,
The long brown path before me, leading me wherever I choose…
Allons! whoever you are! come forth!
You must not stay sleeping and dallying there in the house, though you built it, or though it has been built for you….
Allons! be not detain’d!…
Allons! the road is before us!”
— Walt Whitman

“Earth, Sky and Tumacácori” — Photo Artistry by kenne
A priestly man
once traveled
the desert southwest
mounted a horse
armed only with love
a force without
a presidio of soldiers
connecting with people
of many tribes
building adobe missions
each opened to the morning sun
located within walking distance
understanding the desert paradox.

The Clouds Above — Image by kenne
Silence accepts their shape
Each a face in the sky
Changing as beams of light
Shine on their own truth.

“Just a Broken Limb” — Digital Art by kenne
Just A Broken Limb
Broken by the storm
Tumbled by the wind
Pebbled by the sand
Captured by the rock
How far I have come
From what I was
Lost between was and now
Never to go home again
Resting against the rock
Disguised as a twig
Knowing all that matters
Intoxicated by the possible

Desert Eunuchs — Image by kenne
left naked
in the sun
skin burned
power seized
desire lost
eunuchs
of the desert
no one to serve

Sunset Canyon Shadows — Grunge Art by kenne
Tonight we ride
in the dark shadows
of sunset canyon
crossing the border
in the moonlight
down the dusty trail
where the ashes
of the past stir
volver, volver.

Vineyard — Computer Art by kenne
Vineyards
When strolling through arbors
choosing poems to intoxicate you,
luxurious good taste demands
I select certain reddish vines.
Your shimmering petals
show succulence.
I desire to swallow you
like vivid heady lines.

Crossing The Border
Senescence begins
And middle age ends
The day your descendants
Outnumber your friends.

Don’t Fence Me In — Image by kenne
the West
invented itself,
then
reinvented itself —
first by cowboys,
then
by landowners,
which changed its
tone and image,
so much so
now only the
makings of myths,
not history.

A Section of the Colorado River South of Lake Mead In Northwest Arizona
— Panorama by kenne
Advice from a river.
Go with the flow,
immerse yourself in nature,
slow down and meander,
go around the obstacles,
be thoughtful of those downstream,
stay current,
the beauty is in the journey!

Untitled Sunset Layers by kenne
Pods and seeds unite
Underneath the circling sun
Waiting for the wind.
Flying high above
Planting seeds for tomorrow
Nature works magic.
I paint with new tools
Brushes, filters, and software
To tell my story.
