Flamingoes have extraordinarily long necks
Could be to spy on koalas in trees having sex
Voyeurs perhaps
Maybe to harass
Or join in the fun and cheat on their ex...

A 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...

All birds can’t drink everything flamingoes gulp. 
Hawks inconsequentially jaunt kilometers.
 Loutish macaws never oblige parrots. 
Quail run several trails under vines. 
White xerophytes yield zenithal albatrosses.

SANTA WISHES YOU A BLOOMING CHRISTMAS

Oh deer, did the night drone on and on,
the liftoff of a midnight clear.
Away from The Pole, he drinks a ton of beer,
and plants 100 flamingoes in each lawn.

Two old buzzards stand
High in a dead slick pine tree
Vision limited

Two old people speed in pick-up
One turns head sees polka-dots

No chance of seeing
Flamingoes anywhere near
Polka-dotted stars appear 

Turning my head like an owl
Herniated disc cracks loud...

Painted by  Angels  

The sun retire to bright of  day 
in amber a colour of breathless  sky 
Flamingoes have chosen horizon to line  
in contours  to blend  the  clouds on high 

With  crimson of  red an ocean gleam
reflection of calm and  peace  serene 
   Brimstone of  fire supreme  to  reign
captured by angels who seek no fame...

What if Heaven….
is HELL….
The ultimate
gated
retirement community.
No “crazy” old neighbors
talking to their cats,
feeding their plastic flamingoes
styrofoam packing peanuts.
No music
unless downloaded
from a select play list,
no flags, no bumper stickers,
(unreadable wrinkled tattoos – OK).
No churches
if you’re here
you should know why.
Just forever smiling
angelic faces
aching
to drop a cannonball
into the pool.
