Vijay Pandit Poet Ode

To a Flamingo

Oh beauteous bird, oh regal flamingo!
How stunning is your majestic appeal
Scarlet wing coverts blazing your zeal
Dazzling persona of upside down aura
Bent bill articulating aquatic ballet art
Emulating dance of one legged stance
Ah! how your pink gentilities enchant
In crimson garb, thrilling doting hearts 

October 6, 2020

Judy Ball October 11, 2020 at 4:34 PM Lovely Vijay. The flamingo does make one happy just to watch them. Did you know that they are actually white and get their pink color from the shrimp they eat? I always found that amazing. Just goes to prove we are what we eat. :) Thanks so much for the well wishes. God Bless and Happy Thanksgiving JB Vijay Pandit October 12, 2020 at 7:38 AM Yes I knew that--isn't nature amazing! Thank you Judy--much appreciate.
