Poetry Friday: On the Wing

Happy Poetry Friday! Take a look at On the Wing by David Elliott and illustrated by Becca Stadtlander. #beautyallaround



The Caribbean Flamingo

Singular...
an ember
waiting
to ignite.

In multitude...
a conflagration!
The sky is set
alight!

    I was just telling David last week that I can't wait to see this one - my 4-yr-old son loves his poetry books! Thanks for sharing.

    Good choice, Lorie Ann. This is one of my favorites from ON THE WING. Love the ember that becomes a conflagration. And the artwork is amazing as well!
