    3 strong images in this haiku. I love how the sun takes centre stage....as it’s wont to do.

    The earth makes time for both - the desert and the rain. Even a cactus needs just a little bit of water. Smiles.

    Ah, yes, once the sun comes out the earth starts to parch again. How well I know, living in the desert.

    This reads like a whisper from a miracle... sending signals to the barren soil/sand, saying that not all is lost.

    I really like this one, Gillena.

    I love the way you have not mentioned a cactus but it is there in the haiku, hiding between the lines. A lovely contrast of a rain and sun, Gillena!
