Flamingo

The pipe under our sink
would resemble your neck, I think,
if only it were pink.

Among your many talents
is your ability to balance
in a one-legged stance
making you look graceful
as though in a dance.

You are quite fleet
thanks to your webbed feet,
when you run on the water
without the slightest totter.
You're truly a water trotter!

You and your mate
are never apart.
You flex your necks
into the shape of a heart
as you stand beak to beak
in Thane Creek. - Jeff Barnes
