Silver Penguin

silver penguin turns its head across thick haze… a mating call . . . . .. . * according to nationalgeograhic.com, adélie penguins (winter animals) live on the Antarctic continent and on many small, surrounding coastal islands. They spend the winter offshore in the seas surrounding the Antarctic pack ice (c) Debbie Guzzi: Animal Haiku nette onclaud

Love this, Nette. REALLY. But if for Debbie's contest, she'll probably mention that animals don't love, it's a human emotion, and she is wanting VERY traditional, Japanese haiku. Her thing, and I get that. We all have our passions. Hope you are doing well, doll. Hey, I just go me a paid membership. LOL. There goes the neighbourhood!
