Bellying Up: A SenHai

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.

watering hole break
even babies need a soak
before more walking

mud-streaked, watchful eye
small tusk catching morning light
trunk sips still water
