Himalayan Monal

Imagine me the creature in broad daylight with green metallic crest as I flaunt a copper plumage wild and free whilst feathering my nest native of the Himalayan range I scale the sun drenched mountain peaks the zoom and swoop spirit I encapsulate when skimming gold vein creaks I dwell on red oak conifers or alpine meads bound by rock-strewn ware pale blue eye patch forager whose curved bill dig unearths a snow crust fare coruscating migrant over altitudes whose bone chill turf I fly rooster among canopies I hatch my brood with poignant shrubland cry.
