Hello and Happy Poetry Friday! Be sure to visit Janice at Salt City Verse for Roundup.
I'm traveling today, but I do have an ArtSpeak: Animals poem to share with you.
This art screams two things to me: "Florida!" And, "summer."
I had a lot of fun playing with words to write a flamingo-dance poem. Thank you so much for reading!
Flamingo School of Dance
It may take
two to tango
but flamingo
prefers a tangle—
six legs
three long necks
one pool full
of fluffy
feathered skirts—
flamingo
flamango
flamenco!
- Irene Latham
Encore! Bravo! Oh, those lovely, long-necked dancers in their fluffy skirts. I love them in this fun poem. Enjoy your travels!
ReplyDeleteGood dancing & ending, Irene! There are a flock of flamingos at our zoo. Every time I see them, as you wrote, I miss the beach! Have a great 'traveling' weekend!
ReplyDeleteLove those adorable dancing flamingos.

ReplyDeletecha-cha-cha! Your poem has given these flock-stars room to strut their stuff, Irene. Well done! :)
