Edward Ibeh Poet Ode

Notes About The Poem

To a Flamingo

Greater Flamingo, you beautiful wading bird.
                 What a captivating sight you are!
 Long-legged, web-footed wonder with aquiline beak;
                         taking to the sky in style!
           Your courtship dance is almost hypnotic
              You move with such giraffe-like grace;
                 wading along the edges of shallow,
                      all decked out in glorious pink.
