Written for SenHai Saturday where our host,
Susi asks us to write a senryu and haiku using
the image shown below as inspiration.
Here’s where the image took me.
neck stretched toward glory
convinced he’s the handsomest….
the pelican’s truth
⌘ ⌘
pale sky holds its breath
long bill parting pink from pink….
one eye sees it all
