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

Andrea Dietrich Date: 11/28/2011 10:37:00 PM I was just reading Cyndi's remarks below mine. hahaha. yes, good luck in Deb's contest. I sure like that animal you chose! Login to Reply

Andrea Dietrich Date: 11/28/2011 10:36:00 PM a sensuous though chilly haiku here Nette!! wow, so rarely do I get to see you here anymore. I sure hope you come back to us and post more often. Miss ya! Luv, Andrea Login to Reply

Cyndi Macmillan Date: 11/28/2011 10:07:00 PM 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! Login to Reply
