Cactus Wren
a nest
kept safe
by pointed thorns
a space
where chicks
stay safe and warm
a bud
that blooms
when spring is near
a sign
that chicks
will soon appear
kept safe
by pointed thorns
a space
where chicks
stay safe and warm
a bud
that blooms
when spring is near
a sign
that chicks
will soon appear
