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!

Poetry Friday: In the Sea

A great recommend for Poetry Friday: In the Sea!

The Shark

The fin,
the skin,
the brutal grin...

The terror
of the dark within.
