His Majesty

Nancy's Notes 🖊️♬

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

    1. That song was a real find, and the guy who recorded it played it all on his own. There was a live version of the song on YouTube which I thought about using, but it was much too long; it showed Cosmo Sheldrake creating all the different sounds on his sound machine and putting it all together. It was really quite fascinating. Thanks very much for your comments, Lisa.

    1. Thanks so much, Ange. I’m very glad you enjoyed it. There was a live version of this video which was so entertaining, seeing how Cosmo Sheldrake put this song together as a one man act. I didn’t use it simply because it was much too long. I thought this was a cool little video.
