Height of Haiku Challenge ~ Flourish

A cockatoo visitor in my world of Dromana.
When a cockatoo feels a little stroppy, the crest lunges forward and the sweet thing emits a raucous cry!
This particular cockatoo we call Gammy because he appears to have a broken wing!
But he manages to fly quite well and manages to share his displeasure quite loudly!
(Admittedly, Gammy's attitude was aided by a wind blowing and the drama of his pose was captured in the last lights of the day!)

Height of Haiku Challenge
Haiku Heights #63 ~ Flourish

Mellow Yellow Monday #137

Feathered white drama
Yellow crests flourish a mood
Like whipping the air

Over 50! And Motoring!

T.S.Eliot's poetry has never failed to intoxicate me! In fact, his sunlight on a broken column, his midnights and lamp posts, his female rhythms mouthing Michelangelo pleasantries are all bound up in the "overwhelming question" of our real biorhythms and souls! ~ We are cups, constantly and quietly being filled. The trick is, knowing how to tip ourselves over and let the beautiful stuff out. ~~~~Ray Bradbury ~~~~ Don’t tell me the moon is shining; show me the glint of light on broken glass. ~~~Anton Chekhov ~~~ Those who danced were thought to be quite insane by those who could not hear the music. ~Angela Monet

Footfalls echo in the memory, Down the passage which we did not take, Towards the door we never opened Into the rose-garden.- T.S.Eliot .............................. My page was too white/My ink was too thin/The day wouldn’t write/What the night pencilled in -'The Book of Longing' Leonard Cohen..................... Creative discord of fractured harmonies! Between the Question and the Answer is A Hush... A Whisper... A Dreaming...

The grit of raw desert lands whirls on the winds in erotic rhythms - sometimes. - Greyscale
