Water birds haikus 5.0
(i) Flamingos
Calm one legged stance
Popular lawn ornament
So pretty in pink
(ii) Swans
Largest waterfowl
Long elegant swooping necks
Glides through the water
(iii) Pelicans
Giant gulping bills
Colonial fisher birds
Safe passage in death
(iv) Albatrosses
Efficient flyers
Seen as souls of lost sailors
Coleridge metaphor
(v) Penguins
Frigid flipper feet
Slashing through the water fast
Searching for sardines
