A glimpse of yellow
Dark messengers in grey skies
Ancient cries foretell

A glimpse of yellow
Dark messengers in grey skies
Ancient cries foretell
Hobbling in the cold
I watch cockatoos chew through
knobbly old branches
Cockatoos fly home
earlier than yesterday -
the smell of Spring rain
A white feathered friend
Has a lot of news to share
Busy beak; sharp screech
✏️ + 🎨 by Lisa
In a cloak of fog
the sun impersonates
the full moon
Reverent attendees
honour this dawn, except the
Loudmouth cockatoos
Cloudless twinkling sky
Cockatoos snuggle to sleep
Scent of eucalypts
Evocative skies
Spread over with mournful cries
Touches of yellow
* By Lisa
Summer stirs awake
A curious cockatoo
Chews the drying wood
