Excerpts from The Best of Rosemary Winters Tracey

She walked down the aisle 
On her new husband's arm 
Wearing a white organza wedding dress, 
And carrying in her hand 
A white handkerchief her husband had given her, 
It had belonged to his late mother.

WTC

Canyons of formidable fear
transversed by
chasms of death and destruction
commuted:
death to life -- fear to joy

Dawn of a New Age

Needles has barely a one ~ pipes prevail
providing a fleeting ecstasy from
the reality of played out businesses
and crack hotels ~ a gritty realism.

Needles

Speed freaks, crackheads and cocaine cowboys 
litter the streets of Bull Head City.
Dead enders in a dead end world, 
a landscape as dead as the cretins 
who inhabit it.

Bull Head City Blues

Ebony crags of individualistic style 
inspire the senses ~ to look beyond the conformity.
Backlit by fierce clouds ~ sweeping away boredom
with angry flashes of cloudy confusion.

Laughlin Living

Midnight blue ocean capped by lilac waves
in the twilight, a white hot light appears,
revealing, not an ocean
but a Valley of Monuments

Valley of monuments at Powell
