From My Garden: Twenty Camellias in Haiku

Beloved’s Journey, Chapter 6: A Conversation in the Desert
Moving across the desert by camel is an effective way to travel. It is however, not a comfortable one, especially when the creature possesses an uncooperative and subversive nature as well as a bony backside.
