Flamingos On A Frozen Lake Poem by Kelly Boutin

Flamingos are out
Lakes are frozen
Around the lakes snowbanks are high
Might they reach the sky
In the morning none would be there
Gone like the wind on a calm day
Of all the places the flamingos are here
Staying on the lake so clear
On the lake they dance all day
Not forever, I might say
Around the time the snow goes away
Flamingos are flying far away
Rousing from their winter stay
Off to a place that's still cold
Zooming far, fast and bold
Entering the Pole.
Night into day;
Looking out my window
At their melting fishing hole
Kind of makes me want to cry
End of summer, I see them fly.
