See these holes
in the Saguaro?
Who lives here
do you know?
Elf Owl?
Woodpecker?
Cactus Wren?
Do not knock
upon their door.
Cactus spines
make knuckles sore.
Yesterday morning I saw a cactus wren sitting at the edge of an opening in the Saguaro cactus. The bird sat there singing, but just as soon as I got my camera out the wren ducked inside the hole. I waited and waited. but the bird did not want her picture taken.
Can you write a poem about picture day at your school? Do you like having pictures taken, or would you rather be like the wren and have a hole to duck into?Have fun writing
Delightful, Joy. Thank you so much for the closeups and for all your efforts to provide them for us. You're a poet, field reporter, and photographer combined. Readers get eyewitness experiences here. Lucky us!
ReplyDeleteJoy, Your word images align perfectly with the pictures - love it! I hope many youngsters write poems about picture day!
