Florida Tanka

Morning tea steaming
as I sit on the back porch
Awaiting the geese
Yet, with pink surprise, toothpick
legs of flamingos walk proud

flowers
bloom brightly

flamingos
gathered in millions
crowded airways

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

Perfect Moments

like a precious stone some memories 

the sound of a perfect stream 

the pink flamingos crossing into shadow 
lit by the eastern sun 

the moment i saw the beauty of your soul

Flamingo Tango

Did you know that
Flamingos love to tango?
Three steps forward, one side step,
Shake of the hips, they end the prep.
Quick, quick, slow, gracefully slide,
Flamingos dance as colorful as mango.

Flamingos have extra long skinny legs Why is that so, the natural question begs Their bodies are large To understand is hard How they support themselves on these long skinny pegs

Flamingos sure have long skinny necks Fish don't have any... didn't know that I bet Flamingos walk on stilts A wonder they don't tilt Awkward but with those, around quickly I'd get

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

One Summer's Evening

On purple clouds, flamingos preening
in blue sky-lands, one summer’s evening,
turned to hear the turtle-island
croon to the surfers in the sea, 
or that is how it seemed to me, 
one summer’s evening, dreaming ...

festive lark she has a deer for pet that day chases flamingos fawning at Santa Domingo Deers and squirrels shutters yet All quiet at weeks end

Do all Flamingos turn to plastic
at their death
or are they pantomiming
every breath

as buzzards returning
to old Hinckley
seek the memory
of something stinky

Premium Member Luscious Peaches

Baskets of peaches
Ripe, juicy, luscious and warm
Tangerine sun goes
Summer left these gifts behind
Like blooms of my memory

Flamingos soon dance
Along the edges of dusk
Beautiful endings
Preserves and pies are waiting
A scarecrow waves in the field

Premium Member The Flamingos Flamencoed

Written by Gail DeBole
January 20, 2020

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.

feasting in the trees
redbird with traces of gold
in crimson sunset

the song is waiting
for a moonlight appearance
white rose drifting clouds

scarlet cherry hues
as mellow day is dying
flamingos dancing

jade frog is croaking
into a burgundy night
forest green tree bliss

Bordeaux Birds

Bordeaux birds are forever bright
                                    They avoid Lammergeiers night
                                           Flamingos and storks
                                          Know the use of forks
                                       In the Puy de Sancy height

Premium Member Feverishly Frenzied Floozy and Frazzled French Flamingos

Feverish flowery flippant freakish fantailed floozy who needed grounding
Flimflammed, flashed, flipped and flinched a fabulous frugal foundling
Fortuitous flexible frazzled French flamingos flash-mobbed a fernlike finch
On Friinge of this freakish failed flopped frenzy, I received a friendly pinch.

Pink

Wander
Falter
Ponder
Endless steps down endless corridors 
Dragging heavy slimy soul behind
Through dust & rock & mud

Swampy mossy tangled soul
Full of reptile teeth & corpses of flamingos
Glossy rosy feathers float to the surface
& all they can see
& all they can say is
OOOH 
what a lovely shade of pink

A murder of crows straggled 
across the grey February sky
with light snow slowly falling
blanketing the world in untracked 
silence, until we crossed coyote
tracks setting off Xena’s baying.
Back home, after breakfast and 
coffee, I fired up the laptop to
pink flamingos before blue water,  
Windows 10’s screen of the day.

Premium Member do not be intimidated by fancy birds

do not be intimidated by fancy birds
they put their earrings on one at a time
like the drag queen peacocks
and the flabbergasted flamingos

do not be intimidated by fancy birds
you can carry off glitz and glamor as well as they
even if you cannot fly up to the top of an oak tree
you can walk along the porch railing and crow
