Their melodious humming drifts
through the fragrant night air
carrying a sense of tranquility
In this enchanting universe
where dreams come true
A delicate whisper
of silver breeze captivated softly.
Trees are lavishly graced
with azure...

Ode To a FlamingoYou strut with pink, exotic flair
an exaggerated bird with Picasso shape
your wandering neck and abstract beak
bend and toggle, squawk and pace
your splindly legs cause a rumor
wildly fascinating and long on humor
asleep, adoring a one legged stance
unique, you deserve a second glance....

just the hour their world's afire
whispers of moonlight
orange and pink sky

FlamingoFlamingo (Paintings by Patricia)
Fairest flamingo of my memories,
oh, I loved watching you from cool shadows
reflecting your beauty in pink and rose,
gracefully wading beneath tall palm trees.
Fairest flamingo of my memories,
your long bill traced ripples in sun-laced pools.
Slowly, you drew water colored jewels...

FlamingoThe body electric; it moves about
On fire from a heart that has exploded.
Suspicion of me; eyes on me. I didn’t do it!
I merely sat idly by while they killed themselves
With drink.
I have a drink, and perhaps I shall
Have another, and the...

Thou Art No Lesser, O Pink FlamingoThou art no migrant bird, O Pink Beauty,
But forced art to fly many a long miles
Looking for fresh habitat and water,
In search of new breeding and nesting isles.
And in this search of a shallow wetland,
Ye fly hundreds of miles in patterned file.
Once there, watching ye...

Ode
Pink Flamingo On My LawnA flamingo on the lawn? Oh, yes!
With its s-shaped head so pretty.
Make fun if you think you must.
Fill yourself with giggles
At your house, not mine.
Flamingoes have
Feelings too
Pinkish
Ones...

White FlamingoSomeone once burned a pentagram outside my friend's apartment
the day after, in the courtyard, he stripped off all his clothes
silently perching on one leg by the edge of the pool
A faceless neighbor giggled "he's gone flamingo".
after a brief scuffle -they carted him off...

The Flamingo Painted PinkWe were excited to walk on our favorite beach…and at the same time ascertain…
if and how our favorite beach had been affected by the hurricane.
Some parts were still flooded…and just as we had feared
although there was still a beach to walk on…much of the sand...

Pink FlamingoPink hue flamingo it must be due to all
the carotenoid pigments feasted on
algae and crustaceans
An elongated neck spirals
and filters such sensations
Sharing color is Okinawa salmon sushi,
bolster lobster and shrimp scrimp
Graceful qualifiers primp poised tropical dwellers
balancing effortlessly on one outstretched leg,
A ballerina’s pirouette...

And wonder about the angle
What appears to be his knee
Is actually his ankle...

Flamingo DanceFlamingo Dance
Such a prissy flashy crowd
Pink burlesque feathers sashay left.
One leg up the other down
Drop the neck and touch the ground
Graceful poses in bright hue
Ibis dances two by two
Shuffle faster, ruffle feathers
Real life pink Flamingo dancers....

Flamingo Migration the LeaderCome on chaps its time to go
We must leave now, before the snow.
I know the way, I know the path
The route is South to a great lake bath.
You’re my pal, so you’re first right.
Help me guide them on this long flight.
You’re first left, cause you...
