The lonesome heart pines
lost in the barren landscape
stoic demeanor
Scorching cloudless sky
survives the parched desert heat
resilient soul
Spiked outer armor
smiles through the blistered needles
a vibrant blossom
Haiku – The Cactus!
The lonesome heart pines
lost in the barren landscape
stoic demeanor
Scorching cloudless sky
survives the parched desert heat
resilient soul
Spiked outer armor
smiles through the blistered needles
a vibrant blossom
