........Cactus
....Water Towers
Isolated desolates
Wrapped in spikes
Fluted aqua Greys
Or in military green
Reaching the skies
The desolate cacti 
The desert fingers 
Withholding blaze..
Desicating breeze..........
.Blistering freeze..................
Where not a blade....................
Nothin' germinate......................
Them root in dust.....................
Wasteland, gravel.....................
The fluted barrels......................
They shrink in dry......................
Bellow up in rains......................
.Spiky succulents......................

How nature works.......................IN...........................flowers 
Protects to Serve.......................................................spring 
These green silos ......................T.................................as 
.Of precious fluid...........................U.........................surprises
.Stand strong on...........................C.......................burst bloom
Toughest ground..........................S......................midst thorns
Piercing the rocks.........................O.....................inviting joys~
Roots underneath.......................N........................thirst stops
Piercing the skies.....................................................for avians
Soft pith monolith- projecting cantilevers like steel girders
Living art pieces as a monument of adaptability to nature
.In searing heats - thou have shrunk leaves into spikes
..In desert cold...
..In windstorms..
.Standing Strong
Like a timekeeper
Like a monument 
not a sore thumb 
...Statuesquely ..
..As a work of art..
A difficult woman?
attitudinal haughty..#%^* MEN
Or ancient spirits..
.Of evolved Souls
these tough ones
As green menhirs 
They hold nectar
Dry desert-water
.Sucked into cells.......

.One instant-
As a surprise 
blooms arrive
Inviting birds'
Inviting b'flies
Taste of Love
Finally there's
Some sharing 
Nectar Sweet!
Dip your beaks
Feast your eyes 
..Welcoming my
 .Winged friends
..& Shutterbugs!
..End of isolation
...#Time to party 
....These Lovely 
..........CACTI.
