Edward Ibeh Poet Verse

Notes About The Poem

Umbrella Cockatoo

Diadem
            flat on its head.
         Regal 
      in appearance.
         Beautiful parrot
            clad in white.
               It's a...
            "Velcro bird;"
          bonds well
       with humans.
          A native
             of Indonesia.
                When surprised, raises its...
             crest.
          Dazzling bird in flight!

          (Yalto)
