FLAMINGO SUNSET

Ravishing hues, trampling white shallows,
Rosy formations,
Flowing, gregarious creations,
Webs wading the sky...
Over the shoreline--dark mangroves of night--
Slender forms curving in black-tipped flight.
A dance of the colors,
Pinks ebbing, retreating,
Sinuous carmines swelling and weaving,
Passionate entwines slowly receding...
A quadrille of flame--vermilions outspread--
Flamingo sunset--a vanishing red.
