Glaring at the passing of cars,
The protector of the household
Stands firmly on his spindly legs,
Surveying his kingdom, I’m told.
From the neighbor’s kids who snitched him
Last Halloween to decorate
As a vampire in a black cape
Hidden behind their garden gate.
Or “borrowed” him when the snow fell
And the snowman needed a prop
To keep him standing while they threw
Snowballs until “Pinky” would drop.
But a flamingo’s revenge comes
On April Fools Day when their door
Opens and a dozen birdies
Sit on their lawn, the "Pinky" corp.
Author notes
The true story................(Butterfly cinquain)
Or is it?
LOL
Pretty
in pink plastic,
the latest addition
to our front yard and their chagrin,
my kids
cringe when friends come over to stay,
in a house overrun
with flamingos,
and mom.
