My Red Flamingo Poem by Namita Rani Panda

One day I'll knit a pull over for you
Of bright red hue
And you'll look like an American flamingo
With bright red feathers
Non migratory and monogamous
You'll hover around me only,
A lake of transparent love
For nesting and rest
And some privy moments,
Or you'll look like those rose buds in my garden
With bright red petals, slick and silken
Kissed by dews
The envy of my neighbours
That scatter beauty and fragrance,
That uplift my spirit and fill my life with happiness,
Or you'll look like that distant red planet,
Though unfading attraction of thousand astronomers
You'll orbit around me only
Ceaselessly
Day and night
As that orbits round the Sun.

Yes, one day I will knit a pull over for you
Of bright red hue,
If only I develop a design in my dream with much love and care
Exquisitely unique and rare!
