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 In praise of the ode poetry contest Sponsor: Nette Onclaud Theme: To a flamingo

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

Flamingos are outstandingly beautiful and they are so many of them at a time in one place but very skittish however and fly away at the slightest sound. Your write is outstanding as usual, well penned Vijay! Hugs and blessings, Jennifer.

"Emulating dance of one legged stance" Yes, and they are so graceful. This is beautiful and elegant. Your thoughts bring a smile. Oh, to be a Flamingo. :) I think I can balance on one leg. Yes, I am sure I can, for a moment. :) Brandy
