Flamingo

Stunning apparition in flamboyant fluffy dress How gracefully you ripple the lagoon. The palm trees sway in unison With your blushing pink flirtatious dance. Virtuoso of balance, standing on guard, Your serpentine neck poised with pride, I am transfixed by your beauty As sunset lingers on the horizon. 07.10.20 In Praise Of The Ode Poetry Contest -sponsored by Nette Onclaud Theme number 1

Beautiful writing of a breattakingly unique bird, Wendy. It starts so perfectly with 'stunning apparition' and keeps getting better. I loved 'virtuoso of balance'. Well done, and congrats on your win (even the Captcha says 'YAY'!) ~ John

Thank you so much, John. Sadly I don't suppose I'll ever see one in its natural setting but three cheers for the powers of the imagination!
