Explore "Arizona" by John Gould Fletcher on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
The windmills, like great sunflowers of steel, / Lift themselves proudly over the straggling houses; / And at their feet the deep blue-green alfalfa / Cuts the desert like the stroke of a sword.
Yellow melon flowers / Crawl beneath the withered peach-trees; / A date-palm throws its heavy fronds of steel / Against the scoured metallic sky.
