Nice job here. But Texas is more than this to me. There is so much history there. Good write here though. God Bless, JB

ever seen the tarantula highway sunning of nitty-grittiness? Southwest tx is 'bout minimalistic as it gets, in my experience.

A really good Haiku. I can see the noon day sun beating down and making many take shelter for a siesta. Good stuff. JB

Have not been to Texas in a long time - I have family in Richardson. This is a fine haiku - one can almost feel the heat coming up from the page. Do you live in Texas? Peace & blessings Matthew Anish
