a lanky scarecrow of a man with withered face and lantern jaws.
a shrunken old man.
a wizened little man with frizzy grey hair.
dried-up grass.
he did well despite his withered arm.
he looked shriveled and ill.
shriveled leaves on the unwatered seedlings.
the desert was edged with sere vegetation.
the old woman's shriveled skin.
withered vines.
