A fronte praecipitium a tergo lupi. (In front of you, a precipice. Behind you, wolves.)

National Poetry Month--Day 19--Rhyme Royal--When You Live in a Desert

 

Today we're doing a Rhyme Royal. If you want to tackle this more difficult form and don't know how, go here. Otherwise, here's my poem: 

WHEN YOU LIVE IN A DESERT

Living in deserts without drifting snow

Your winters are full of unbearable heats

Ice won't paint flow'rs on your frosty window

No ice for skating in thick enough sheets

Rolled socks for throwing must be snowball cheats 

I want to move somewhere the snowflakes fall

No dangerous poisons and stickers tall
