A very well-written haiku about the hazy peach sunset over the icy water of the lake where the flamingo hangs out and show off his reflection in the water.

Now this is what I really enjoy - seeing birds in their natural surroundings. Flamingoes, herons, egrets and swans reflect a sense of peace and serenity. Alone with their thoughts...

hazy peach sunset
over lake's icy water --
flamingo reflects

Much like a painter, a poet must seek to capture colors from a fleeting moment, and present them.

I admired your 5-7-5 haiku with its double entenre in "reflects" that is so perfectly demonstrated in the picture you selected as well. Here's to millions more years of flamingos.

And there we have an entirely different take on the flamingo. I must say while both are nice, i much prefer the lake reflecting the bird's image.

Excellent haiku and many thanks for sharing.

Ah, that flamingo does look like he's in deep thought. But you also make a pun with the "reflects" as the water is reflecting that beautiful bird. Lovely haiku and picture!
