Analysis of Flamingoes
From the air
Uncountable
Myriads of pink dots
On expanse of African blue.
Down and landed
Trudging mucky shoreline.
Symmetry of thousands
Stilt-legged and poised.
Or bursting into
A consensual ascent.
In a nano-second.
Much more of a thrll it seems
Than those trail dwarfing
Trail meandering elephants.
Observed earlier
In the visit.
Pilot Mburu Pesi passing
High-pitched comment.
Arms waving.
Just us…not National Geographic.
Here.
