Nice poem explaining how a tortoise escape from the storm with the help of it's shell. Nature supplies us with the shell we needed to escape from the storms or bad things we are suffering. It reminds how carefully creator created even small species.Good Work

Mystery writer;
such a unique perspective on a flooded desert in with the turtle is so perfectly at home inside a shell.
Your first two lines are very descriptive and expressive as your imagery goes and makes To perfectly interconnecting lines Also.
The third line or satori creates a great summary for the total concept of your haiku.
Good luck in the contest and made good Lord be with you always my friend.

Lucky turtle but not in a flash flood. Some of those canyons have water running so fast nothing survives. Best to you in the contest.

Well, I see where you're going, but one thought that leapt out at me is, he can easily drown in his shell unless he gets to higher ground. That would be the key to his survival during a flash flood. Also, you might consider centering the lines to accentuate the short-long-short format and give it a more balanced look.

It talks about a storm, as to prompt, and it's seventeen syllables in a short-long-short format and makes sense-
I really can't find it other than excellent.
