Pink hue flamingo it must be due to all the carotenoid pigments feasted on algae and crustaceans An elongated neck spirals and filters such sensations Sharing color is Okinawa salmon sushi, bolster lobster and shrimp scrimp Graceful qualifiers primp poised tropical dwellers balancing effortlessly on one outstretched leg, A ballerina’s pirouette in fuchsia tutus’ Statuesque stillness in shallow water Rosette feathers flair flamboyance Passionate plumage, blushing boas Webbed feet tap and stamp below, an aquatic burlesque show The flamenco dance named after you Rose-tinted creature tranquil, wader Hook-billed blackened lamellae sieved nobly, an intense look in a print Cluster buster of pink with lengthy legs that sprint

Wow! This bad girl has over three thousand views. This place has weird algorithms. Informational poem. We saw some live at Tampa zoo, though they were more orange than pink

I'm so glad you two enjoyed your vacation, Tommy. I soupmailed a poet about the crazy hits I get, and it's something we have not resolved yet, maybe the Title? the same with MT and a few others, I've noticed, its definitely random. The flamingos vary in color and SIZE, Pinker are the Chilean and Andean flamingos. Greater flamingos are found in parts of Africa, Asia, and Europe. They are the largest and tallest flamingo species.

Anaya, you've picked an amazing bird to write about. Naturally, after reading your poem, which had a lot of information, I saw that a group of flamingos could be called a flamboyance. Now that you are doing a bird series, I am wondering what's next! Take care!!!

Thriveni, this is first time using the burlesque form, a humorous goal, quirky word pairings. :)
