Too Proud: A SenHai

Written for SenHai Saturday where our host
Susi asks us to write a senryu and haiku
using this image as our inspiration.

Haiku

saucer of still cloud
rests on the mountain’s black spine ….
dawn blushes beneath

Senryu

the peak grew a hat
too proud to admit it fits
so it wears it sideways
