Thank you for your super review. I think I have heard of that book before, but it's been years.

I think this was a great haiku for the contest. You got the syllable counts right, and I liked your message. The picture matched it perfectly. Thank you for sharing, and best wishes to you.

Thank you for reading this little haiku and the row of five stars and well wishes.
Comment from Marilyn Hamilton
An excellent entry for the Haiku contest. This is a descriptive poem with artwork that really adds to the presentation. It reminds us that there are birds and other animals in the hot dry desert who rely on these weird plants. Interesting. Good luck in the contest.

Thank you for taking time to review this weekend.
Comment from Dawn Munro
Oh, what a lovely haiku -- the only nit I might pick (lol) is perhaps outdated... I was taught to write the title like this:
Haiku (the first line in brackets)
Best of luck in the contest.

Yes, I have seen that more than once as the format for listing a haiku when entering a formal contest. I keep making titles shorter due to space limitations most of the time. But I have written over 400 haiku and was thinking I must be close to 500, hence 499. Thank you so much for taking the time to read and offer suggestions today!

Interesting image, with the faces hidden in the rocks...
Perhaps we all have someone watching over us?
I like the blue font which coordinates with the sky.
All of nature seems to work in cooperation to ensure safety!

This haiku, 499, has the proper formatting and reminds the readers how much nature steps up to protect the weakest in its fold as the nurturing and also punishing sun looks on.

Comment from Jacob1395
You painted this image really clear in my mind as I was reading it. I could really feel the heat of the surrounding area well particularly with your last line. I loved the idea of the cactus wrens being protected from the sun. An excellent piece, I really enjoyed it.

I had to read this, the title intrigued me. I love the Arizona desert and the Southwest. I love driving through Saguaro National Park and stopping to see nature up close
Love this haiku

Nicely done. Did you notice the faces in the picture? All living things need watchers and guardians. I love looking at cactus. I have had a few over the years. But living in Houston until recently spot showers could wet and mold them up. Karen
