Flamboyant Flamingos
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 with their heads 'neath wetland's pull. Insects, crabs and tiny fish,...

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.

B is for Buzzard under my hat, my brain meaty and raw. His talons cling like puppet strings. His rabid teeth chew and gnaw. Ye old Buzzard, nothing warm, just a cold sentinel of death. Not like the life-giving stork — impervious to the stench of your breath. Your buzzard form like a swarm of flies. The maggots mirror your childhood. The terror of your...
