Pretty In Pink

Pretty in Pink There was a time I felt the urge To venture in the Amazon To see a mammal at the dawn A dolphin pink in water fresh To gaze and watch it’s morning thresh So solitary in this wild To feed on turtles, shrimp and crabs Born as gray as time moved on And changed to pink translucent skin Among the species they excel releasing sound to seek their food A Capybara lifts it’s head To watch as it begins to rise To flow the dorsal ridge about Then flail around and then submerge Rain Forest graced with such aplomb An Orinoco majesty Dolphins Contests Sponsored by Julie Leigh Rodeheaver February 11, 2018 * I was in the Amazon.
