Dance of flamingos in myriad blue sky Sudden shot hit the home journeying birds Flying plane’s disastrous count Bloodshot wounded flamingos’ falling troupe reddened the captivating Earth Twilight hours lost its softened glee Terror seized the mortal bone Weeping soil raised its breast in honour to thee Solace was hidden deep beneath the tragedy A dolphin whistling songs of pain in the blue cooling sea A crow owling in the coarse wind spread defiance A tree grew morose, ungreen, unbreathing pulsating in tremors A red flower surrendered to a trampled death A tempestuous rush of aquamarine waves spurred an emotion Departure from the skyline read out a nature's vow Is a man- made machine a harbinger of an inescapable reality
