When winter months become morose
And everything around is blue and froze
Gets disheartening even for the eskimos
Their morale starts to dwindle and decompose

They tread most lightly on cautious tippytoes
For fear their neighbors will become bellicose
They bite their tongue rather than use such prose 
As ‘up your...

Buzzards and Flamingos

          buzzards spread broad wings
          fly high, circling in wide span              ...

Once upon a time as all good stories start
Lived three pink flamingos who never were apart

Flo she's the little one, who likes to tease the others
They're Joe, and Moe, her big strong older brothers

They thought it would be nice to take a holiday
So each pink...

Please read part 1 first




When Moe got off the phone, he couldn't believe his luck
Somehow he'd managed to hire, a great big monster truck

He opened up the back door and chucked his luggage in
Then flew up to the drivers seat his journey to begin

From way...

There was an old Buzzard name Bill
He was perched in tree on a hill
When he saw his friend Ringo
A tall pink Flamingo
Become the next messy road kill

Greater Flamingos flock here*, 
flames of white and pink bring cheer. 
Tall and graceful, standing still, 
playful pecking with their bill. 

As a colony, they stand
with pink plumage, plush and grand. 
Bending down curved snowy necks, 
rummaging for food objects. 

In the waters, feeding full

Bob the buzzard is colour blind i think
he doesnt think a flamingo should be pink,
say he has seen many and he knows
that flamingos are blue in Galapagos.

buzzards eyes gleen as he watches them feeding,
now buzzards are big but surely he is exceeding,
tbe size of his...

on her lawn
four pink plastic flamingos 
                 peak above a March snowbank
twisted forms caught in forlorn evasion
beak-body contortions like wrestlers resilient

A flock of Flamingos so pink
Had feathers that made people blink.
They group-danced with heads high
In a Flamenco style.
Ate shrimp, algae, and water to drink.

Author's Note: The type of food affects the color of the feathers....

lights swirl ...

rhythms pound ...
cold Duplais Verte emulsifies in my square glass
tongue tingling, I swallow it in sips
woody, bitter licorice plucks my senses

the soft, dreamy warmth suffuses my blood, relaxing
and the flamingos start to dance
up-and-down, sweeping and bouncing
timed with colored lasers and a mirror ball...

flamingo sunset
just the hour their world's afire
whispers of moonlight

orange and pink sky
hues reflected in water
nighttime is dreaming

elegance and grace
commanding all the twilight
remnants of beauty...

Flamingo Buzzards


Our buzzards and flamingos...mismatched as can be,
tho each have wings and feet, the buzzard is compact:
flamingos, tall and slim, scoop shrimp so charmingly,
while buzzards from the air, hunt prey to be attacked.

Somehow, this hobby recently appeared to merge
the grizzly buzzard, sleek flamingo...make one bird.
Whatever...
