Andrea Dietrich Poet Tanka

Tanka For the Birds

He soars to the sky;
a lady bird is watching,
so while plummeting,
he twists magnificently;
not quite an “old” buzzard yet

Tall necks upward stretch.
Long slender legs start to move.
Synchronization
is the flamingo’s tune when
the beach becomes a dance floor.

Michelle Faulkner January 22, 2019 at 3:15 PM I love how flamingos 'dance' - so graceful, good luck in the contest!

Carolyn Devonshire January 22, 2019 at 1:17 PM Perhaps they are doing a "flamenco" dance! And I love the way your "old buzzard" strives to impress in his descent. Such a cute write, Andrea. Best wishes with the contest. Hugs, Carolyn
