A city of the desert, A part of our great Southwest; Its magical spell has won us, Of charm it is possessed. We love its glorious sunsets, Its skies of azure blue, Its purple-tinted mountains, Its flowers of every hue. So here's a toast to Phoenix, By nature richly blessed, This city of the desert, A part of our great Southwest. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...WAITRESSING IN THE ROOM WITH A THOUSAND MOONS by MATTHEA HARVEY CANDIED YAMS' by TERRANCE HAYES DINNER OF HERBS by LOUISE MOREY BOWMAN THE BANQUET SONG by KENNETH KOCH SPLITTING AN ORDER by TED KOOSER PATIENCE TAUGHT BY NATURE by ELIZABETH BARRETT BROWNING |
