Nature works with nature, providing shelter, food and safety. I love the powerful image of the cacti in your visual. I'm not familiar with that particular bird but it sounds small and in need of protection. Thank you for sharing your thought-provoking verse which I enjoyed. Good luck! Debbie

Cleo45 does amazing work. I could almost see a face in the rock. Yes, it is amazing the relationships between plants and animals. How fortunate for the cactus wrens to have this protection from the heat. The cactus are impressive for their height. Excellent touch of alliteration with Sky-high and stand. judi

    You're welcome. We don't realize how one thing in nature is dependent on another. judi

I love cactus and your words make them come alive. I like the image of the plants as protection for cactus wrens. It shows how important they are. Excellent haiku form that creates a picture of nature.

Often nature works in harmony with one another and I think you are right that plants and animals work together for the good of all. We have a lot to learn from nature Crystie and I enjoyed intuitive and unusual Haiku, love Dolly x x x

Oh yes, the micro environments that we see and co-exist and share the world with us are quite individual and convince me of how they are all managed and created perfectly, due to the amazing hand of God, beautifully written Crystie, blessings Roy

A poet I am not so I have no idea if your haiku is correctly formed or not, but I like the words and how the cactus stands in the heat, throwing shade for the little bird so it doesn't perish in the sun.

I like it! I never heard of the "cactus wrens" before. I like your description of the cacti as "sky-high columns". Yes, there is such an intricate balance between plants and animals and humans. Best wishes in the contest!

    I found out about cactus wrens last spring, I think. Thank you for your great comments today.

Maybe the day will
Come
When I see the reason for
Haiku
But it won't be for the rhythm
Or
Rhyming for sure. Still, the words
You have written are
True regarding how nature intertwined.

    Thank you so much for your truthful review. That is most of our role as poets, to condense truth down to a minimum of wordiness. Haiku is what I write when it's time to clean the closet out, ha ha.
