Cactus Wren Poem by Ima Ryma

The cactus wren parents do be
Raising their chicks in a nest that
Well suits needs of this family
Within a cactus habitat.
It's the dawning of a new day.
The parents have flown away to
Use their hunting skills to display
Bringing breakfast back to their crew.
The parents will snatch bugs in air
To bring back to the cactus nest
For with the family to share.
Bug hunters, cactus wrens are best.

The chicks climb to the cactus top,
Waiting return of Mom and Pop.
