The painting is breathtaking, and your poem has explicit energy that is so fitting for a bird. Very pleasant story.

Dear Jan, This is such a beautiful haiku, you are very good at these and i love the picture youv used too, so stunning! Iv not seen many kingfishers in the maldives. I really love especially the line "iridescent plumage gleams" so artistic! Pleasure reading this today. Sending you light always

Smashing, Jan. Love kingfishers. Probably only ever seen half a dozen or so. But you you sure know one when you see one. Enjoyed. Terry
