Sotto Poet Poet Limerick

Notes About The Poem

The Melting Flamingo

Written: July 7, 2026 for a contest sponsored by Tania Kitchin

Checked by HMS.COM ( 9/9/6/6/9)

                  ******************

A flamingo turned pink in the sun
Said, "This blistering summer is done
I am baking like bread
From my toes to my head
So I'll wade where the cool currents run
