A Desert

My brain is a desert
Today; I can’t lie.
There’s nothing to write of,
Although I can try.

The walk by the river?
The foods I did eat?
The book I just finished?
The crossword complete?

The shoes I discarded
Since new ones arrived?
The plants freshly watered,
Surprised they’ve survived?

I guess that the desert
Some cacti call home
And that is the reason
I’ve written this poem.
