My Blue Flamingo feelings

On cold Winter nights... when stars align just right  

I dream of Blue Flamingoes and visions of you...  

Your feathers kept me warm as we sailed on the 

blue Nile River near the Great Pyramids... 

I will be forever true to the moments spent 

with you... and the beauty of the sky and sighs... 

Remembering the clouds in shapes of Sphinx 

with the body of a Lion and the head of a King... 

Your strength and wisdom became your charm.

Your Mr. charm should treat you royally with a journey along the Blue Nile then to see the ancient glory of Egypt and its wonder. Looking at the stars and galaxies at night is a sight to behold. Wonderful romantic poem with class and song quality from you Patricia Wedel.

I thought the blue flamingos were all in South America... but the thing that puzzles me more in reading this was the transition between the second and third lines. The address seems to be to something with feathers, yet, not to the flamingos, as it is addressed "your" and not "their" and also singular rather than plural. I was at a loss there. Nor could I fathom what it was with such strength and wisdom and feathers...an owl perhaps? But why would anyone ride down the Nile with an owl? This one left me slightly confused.

I never knew blue flamingos were real before I googled them up a few minutes ago. They look absolutely magnificent, and I love the regal tone of this poem.

dear fairest... a mystery for so long... it its a gift to share the discovery. Be blessed with the softest of blue flamingoes. truly, Pat

This is one of your best poems lately. I love how you seemingly describe memories of a place, but these descriptions can also serve to describe your traveling partner's physical delights, especially second-to-last line, lovely double entendre! I also love how your use of the color blue can serve to denote a sad feeling AND some bright memory from the past, bouncing a wintry beginning against the summery reverie that comes a little later. That blue biz is woven nicely that way! (((HUGS))) Fondly, Margie

[Patricia Wedel]

dear Margie... I always cherish your reviews.
Glad you noticed the double entendre, as it just came naturally... and surprised even me. The blue flamingo is very calming and is my own favorite poem. Thanks for being patient with my response.
with love and blessings, Pat

Until today I had no idea that blue flamingos existed I thought you made it up:) the vividness of this scene bleeds thru true (and blue) an expression of love you set sailing down these lines.

[Patricia Wedel]

dearest Robert... lovely to share this discovery with you. Blue flamingoes create a special warmth and feeling. I trust you are staying warm on these cold Winter days. truly, Pat

A love poem Pat and set in the romance Egypt. I had thoughts of Anthony and Cleopatra. I saw Richard Burton and Elizabeth Taylor. I felt their passion. Love the visuals here and the dreams of blue flamingoes. Stately, elegant birds. The blue speaks to me of sadness. There is love as well as loss here. A most beautiful poem which makes me pause and reflect on life and loves.

dearest Chris... you have such a way with words. There is a sadness in this poem... but then life does leave us with many sad moments. It is lovely to reflect on the romance and feel the softness of the feathers of a blue flamingo. Thank you for sharing your feelings. truly, Pat

dearest John... it is extremely cold in Virginia (60 miles from our Nations Capitol in Washington, D.C.
If you Google "Blue Flamingoes" it is interesting. I called up Blue Flamingoes on Google Images to post the photo at the top of my Poem. We are all looking forward to Spring. Thanks for reading and your review. truly, Pat
