Haiku my heart

Whispering cactus
ripe with elegant secrets
waiting to be told.

  1. I love this image. I love cactus. For me, some of the most gorgeous blooms are found on a cactus. Just the right words and image for Magic!

  2. Lovely! I haven't seen the desert bloom in a while. Makes me think I better be ready for the next one. Beautiful photo and haiku description.

    Peace

  3. Third attempt at posting. Blogger messup. Anyhow, your photo and words are beautiful and imagine what beautiful secrets the flower could spill from its breath if only it could.

  5. This reminds me of another haiku you wrote about the cactus bloom that was so lovely. The cactus is a very good teacher and you are one who sees very clearly. Beautiful image and haiku.

  6. What a beautiful photo and haiku! We don't have cactusses in Holland (well, we have the small ones to keep inside in a pot) and I love the look of this big, flowering cactus in the hot sun!

  11. For all the obvious clues that this is a desert beauty, this bristly blooming cactus seems to hint at some long ago deep-sea secret. Enchanting!

  13. I love this, Gemma! The burst fuchsia blossoms are whispering those secrets to the world while the little orbs on the cactus are waiting for their turn... I would love to be still next to this cactus and listen quietly.
