spines pierce desert light
thrusting outward to protect
quiet tenderness

Diane, this is such a lovely photo quilt! Cactus hearts. Your poem is perfect, just perfect.
That's a unique quilt, and nice haiku!
Lovely collection and verse.
And I enjoyed your snow photos in the previous post. The desert canyons and terrain are so different than what we have in the east. So Its always a pleasure to visit your images.
Perfect poetry
For these wonderful cacti
Haiku at it's best!
Perfect!
Happy Valentines Day, Diane.
How sweet for Valentine's Day! Nice Haiku, Diane.
