NESSUN DORMA
A tenor singing
con smania: with passion,
a rich honeyed voice.
His name must be found.
A challenge has been issued
proclaimed by Heralds
The unknown prince sings
Nessun Dorma: none shall sleep.
The Prince rejoices.

Beautiful write about a beautiful song, as I saw the title I heard Pavarotti sing to me.
Sung to death of late but still such a beautiful song.
Nice!
Thanks so much El
How do you come up with these, Michael? Your mind is like a pandora's box, we never know what we will see next!
It's probably full of nutrients - bit like a compost heap - LOL Thanks so much for your comments - they always mean so much Fred.
A fine write Michael. None shall sleep when I sing too. People wake up and think it's two cats fighting! lol.
Thankfully only two Orchi LoL
Thanks MICHAEL ~ Tenors are more elusive than Slass Glippers ! Love the song ~ Love HAIKU ! I loved to catch NEWTS when I was a KID (still am) love the picture of the green crested newts ! Which reminds me that I only tackle NESSUN DORMA when I'm drunk as one ! Thanks for sharing ~ BRIAN
Let there be efts - we are grateful to them in our neck of the woods - they have stopped development on a green field site. Cheers Brian
Nice work again Michael, plus the painting is so vivid ....
Thanks muchly Bill
Wonderful write
Beauty in both the song and the writing here Michael - still trying to decipher the painted subject however which look to me like the jaw of a zebra - nevertheless a great combo of opera-haikus and mysterious abstract.
Thanks Fay. It's the nose of a green and white unstriped zebra in an arctic night - hope that clears it up for you. 🙂 🙂 🙂
