Flamingo

With the classy curved beak You nudge your mate's cheek And you both give a romantic look Oh! That's my favourite click Those slender zig-zag legs float on water like the beautiful boat And amidst that seren lake emerges my angel to ruin my ache White gown, the normal angels don On you, the pink and red hues drawn Such a special archangel you are And so shining like a pink star Lacklustre lake it was; neglected Until your graceful advent You dipped the dull monochrome frame in reddish hues, the place now, a fame Oh my dear Flamingo Your colors, flaming! Oh! My pain you take and go Oh my dear Flamingo
Dedicated to my dream bird Flamingo.Yearning to see it atleast once in my lifetime...

The Flamingos are so beautiful. I'm a real bird fancier and used to watch them often when I loved in Florida. Did you know what makes the Flamingo so vivid pink? It's the shrimp they eat. The Flamingo is white if he doesn't get enough shrimp. Great imagery here my friend. Loved it. God Bless, JB
