Gail Debole Poet Limerick

The Flamingos Flamencoed

Written by Gail DeBole
January 20, 2020

A flock of Flamingos so pink
Had feathers that made people blink.
They group-danced with heads high
In a Flamenco style.
Ate shrimp, algae, and water to drink.

Author's Note: The type of food affects the color of the feathers.

Sara Kendrick February 27, 2020 at 5:05 PM I like this one that is educational plus a little fun. Yes, I had learned a long time ago that their diet of shrimp made them that color. Thanks for the visit to my page. Sara Gail Debole February 27, 2020 at 6:01 PM Thanks for stopping by. Was inspired by a Twitter video. - Gail

Carolyn Devonshire January 20, 2020 at 3:55 PM This is really cute, Gail. I didn't know the birds' diets affected their colors. Some are much brighter than others. Enjoyed your poem! Best wishes, Carolyn Gail Debole January 20, 2020 at 4:04 PM Hi Carolyn, Thank you so much for your kind review. I didn't know either until I did some research.
