Be sure to separate the title. Otherwise, it seems like a 4-line poem, which is not haiku.
The syllable counts are right. Here's more detail if you need it:

Yes, of course I'll separate the title, and thanks. Do I need to change the wording.
I don't think you need to change anything.
You're welcome!
Yes, this is a valid haiku. A haiku is a traditional form of Japanese poetry that typically consists of three lines with a syllable pattern of 5-7-5. Your poem follows this pattern with 5 syllables in the first line, 7 in the second, and 5 in the third. It also captures a moment or image in nature, which is another characteristic of haiku. In this case, the poem describes a prickly cactus standing tall and strong in a desert, which fits within the theme of nature. Overall, your poem meets the criteria of a haiku and effectively creates a vivid image.
