in love with himself

Poetry & writing to me are to me, a breath of fresh air in a life that is sometimes covered by the smoke of sorrow or self doubt. They also become the sweets I share to celebrate when life offers me a reason to. But most of all, they are to me, my life. For each word I write is a piece of my heart, a thought that just had to find its way into the world.
A perfect haiku for a near perfect picture….
Height of Narcissism! A grandiose view of self admiration!!
Fantastic image, and haiku to match.

Gorgeous picture!!! Wow!!! Takes your breath away!
love the rhyme in the second line and line 3 is a cute twist Vinay like this one a lot!
This is beautiful, Leo! …although it does make me think of the Narcissus story where he was so enraptured with his own reflection he starves himself to death! But you're right! True pefection would make one fall in love with his/her reflection… Excellent meditation!
I don't think the bird would be Narcissistic, but it does look like he is in love with himself, Margaret. 🙂 I'm glad you liked the haiku.
