Desert Blooms Comments

I should have been prepared by that word searing. The observer taken by the spectacle, thinking I was reading about a desert flower... was me.

Strong, stealthy poem.

A good surprise here, and all the more effective. The notion of beauty in an explosion, when seen impersonally, is very striking. Similar feel to 5.58.

Excellent write Martin of those few seconds after launch...very descriptive...thank you...Fi

Brilliant...works up to a crescendo and then the simple anticlimactic assertion...bound to startle and shock.
