Flamingo

My beloved purchased two pink flamingos in different poses last year. We considered putting them in the front yard, but decided they might disappear like the rainbow spinner we lost a couple years ago. We were also not sure if they'd be appreciated by the neighbors in all their pink plastic glory.

The flamingo
Is staked on its metal legs
Next to the crab apple
In the back yard.
It is warmer today.
Most of the snow has melted.
The flamingo
Throws his shadow,
Her shadow,
On the crab apple trunk.
It’s hard to tell
A male from a female
In pink plastic.
The silhouette also says
It might be either one.
