A small sample of Ariel's works
A  Desert

A road leads toward nothing
in the lands of heat
with tumbling dead plants
and so little to eat.

Coyotes are howling
and hunting for food.
As scorpions change color
to show off their mood.

Rattlesnakes slink swiftly
over hot sands.
Above them thin vultures
circle around the land.

The desert is filled
with creatures of wonder
who fear not the Sun
but everything under.

Treasure your forests
and the fields far away
for they shall never come here
Neither tomorrow nor today.
