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

This is “Wear My Hat” by Phil Collins

The Elephant's Trunk 
Thanks for sharing the Phil Collins song! He’s one of my favorites and I’d never heard this one. 🙂
Your haiku is superb and your senryu is a delightfully creative take on the image, Nancy!
