To a Flamingo

Slender ballerina legs swirl and leap
in rhythmic strides of majestic style,
while in avian grace you wade
on the rippling algal jade water.

Supple nape swivels in bracing breeze,
like a ballet star you beguile,
as sunburst sky splashes pink patina
on your flowery feathers of flair.
