This is a beautiful poem about evolution and the transformation of our ecology! The stiff ribs of the cactus hiding oceans within them is wonderfully contrasted with the desert this plant grows in!

I still can’t get over how much you can tell us with so few words. I absolutely adore this poem!

You’re so creative with your words 🙂

I like this analogy. Even though the cactus is out in the dry desert, they have a ton of water within to help them survive.

I have been learning about them. The crested saguaro is really lovely! Sadly, my trip to Tucson is almost at an end!
