Evocative skies
Spread over with mournful cries
Touches of yellow

Curlews
Quietly watching
long moon shadows in stillness
Wailing to the night

Summer morning
Summer stirs awake
A curious cockatoo
Chews the drying wood
Grass parrot
Strutting in the grass
Turquoise bonnet shimmering
Flaunting that red rump

Parade
Thank you wanderers
Your nonchalant duck parade
Reminds me to breathe
A robin in lockdown
A flash of colour
Piercing a grey, heavy day
Thriving without us

Gauntlet
King swooper's gauntlet
Who among you will brave it?
One foolish biker
Celebration
I hear corks popping
Gang-gangs invite everyone
To celebrate Spring

* fact of the day: in case you didn’t know, the gang-gang cockatoo's call sounds like a cork squeaking out of a bottle. Enjoy listening to it: HERE
Pandemic Polo parrots
I watch the parrots,
chatting, bounce between blossoms
Joy is a lifeboat

Morning Meeting
In the drizzling fog
Rosy ghost ships bob, aglow
Galahs’ communion
