Wendy Watson Poet Ode

Flamingo

Stunning apparition in flamboyant fluffy dress
How gracefully you ripple the lagoon.
The palm trees sway in unison
With your blushing pink flirtatious dance. 
Virtuoso of balance, standing on guard,
Your serpentine neck poised with pride,
I am transfixed by your beauty
As sunset lingers on the horizon.

John Watt October 19, 2020 at 8:24 PM Beautiful writing of a breattakingly unique bird, Wendy. It starts so perfectly with 'stunning apparition' and keeps getting better. I loved 'virtuoso of balance'. Well done, and congrats on your win (even the Captcha says 'YAY'!) ~ John Wendy Watson April 21, 2021 at 2:49 PM Thank you so much, John. Sadly I don't suppose I'll ever see one in its natural setting but three cheers for the powers of the imagination!
