Well, I dunno. They have to carry the darned thing around all year, even when there's no rain in sight. We can park our umbrellas. Thanks for reviewing, Jenny.

It appears all rules met. Your first two lines are very concrete images and I like the satori line. Nice alliteration throughout.

Loved this...especially Nature's own safe house! Good line. Awesome haiku. Spot on syllable count at 17.
Are you allowed to have a picture with it? For the contest, I mean?

Yes, You have to give it up to the turtle and Tortoise, they do come equipped to handle Nature's little temper tantrums. Nicely crafted.
