: Flamingos by adewpearl



Erect
at water's edge --
their stance a mystery.
Lawn ornaments are best when brought
to life.

Author Notes
When I discovered one of my favorite writers on FanStory is also an artist on FanArt, I decided to check out her art portfolio so I could write a poem about one of her artworks.
I was delighted to find this flamingo painting. I looked up flamingos to see if there is any reason they stand on one leg, as that has always fascinated me, but while there are theories, what it boils down to is nobody really knows.
I also love tacky lawn ornaments, and flamingos are among the most popular. Hence, the inspiration for that reference in this piece.
