JUL 13, selected pics: dabbling waterfowl

TODAY'S POEM ('senryu' *)

 

the peculiar apparent orange-red colour
 of the 'pond' is a reflection from 
an orangey freighter behind the mute swan

 

"dabbling" -- upended

ducks, swans, geese and poets probe 

beneath the surface.

* learn more HERE about "senryu", a term that designates a lesser-known Japanese short poem that shares the physical characteristics of haiku (nominally 17 'on' / syllables in three non-rhyming lines), but deals in a satiric or humorous way with human foibles rather than with Nature.
