Theatrical Flamingoes…
(from a painting by Lily Elisabeth)
Flamingoes, en masse, fraternise,
Their abstract feathers mesmerise,
Confused in their reflections.
They are like ballet dancers
With tutus swirling
On stage, costumes unfurling
In flurries and scurries
And cascading in so many directions…
Necks crane, en masse, vertically,
Their heads peer, horizontally,
Confused in their directions.
They are like chorus-line dancers
Their torsos twirling
About the stage, colours whirling
In quivers and shivers
And parading, even in their reflections…
