Baja Haiku
By Don Orr Martin. 2022
For many years my husband John Konovsky and I have driven 3,400 km to Loreto, Baja California Sur for winter vacations. In 2022 on the trip down, I wrote haikus and he took photos.
Valle del Cirio
Suess-like boojum trees
Cartoon upside down parsnips
Green from desert rain
Sonoran Car Camp
Cataviña rocks!
Mounds of Henry Moore sculptures
Carved by arid winds
Cactus de Baja
Cardon, cholla. Ay!
Viejo, pitaya. Ay!
Nopal, cochal. Ay!
Malecon Morning Blues
Cobalt sea shimmers
Blue whales, blue-footed boobies
Salsa jazz rhythms
