Steal young almonds
Under the full moon
As spring fades...

Screeching cockatoos
Laughing young Kookaburras
Summer’s wild flowers...

I spied a gossamer firefly, with big black eyes... 
Kissing, her beauty's butterflies; together they flew
Beyound the residuums view; these taunting, cockatoos....

Three black cockies
Sitting in a tree,
Big black cockies
Noisy as can be.
Red-tailed cockies
Sharing all the news,
Love them all very much
My friends; black cockatoos....

Every lingo does evolve,
We borrow words, I'm told,
I have croissant, pizza and latte,
Pen pal in Beirut, I might say,
I live in Woollomooloo, 
Where we parrot like cockatoos,
Now it's all English vocabulary,
Evolving to send overseas,
E-languages, you see!...

Jazz MOODS


Re-arrange the orange, 
  Classical blues, 

 White pin striped suit, 
  Strawberry shoes, 

Black is here, 
 Lemon a texture smooth’s, 

Apple green space, 
Brown syrup down spoons, 

Poppy red violence, 
  Purple water soothes, 

Yellow putrid, 
Grey cockatoos...

Milky bright sky with rain in her net
Morning performance with native duet
Whip cracks and choo-choos crescendo in song
Spurring near aves to jolly along
The flightless young to pipe up and squawk
Easy like eagle or hoarse as the hawk!
Where cockatoos chase each other and chatter
Raindrops descend, and pitter-patter....

Purple shadows dancing and laughing with clowns 
How does it matter when the grim reaper smiles
Vultures and dragons fly missed horizon
Parrots and cockatoos squawk talk through wireless connections Verizon ™
And when it's all said done
Methodical

Paradisiac haven with cerulean skies
White cockatoos and blue macaws
Flock between the coconut palms
Resembling celestial paradises

White satin sheets cover the king beds
Red exotic flowers decorate fine vases
Promise to couples romantic nights
Educing hidden passion in the veins

My neighbour
wondered where all the birds were going to
"to my yard,"
I replied
the Cockatoos for the green almonds
Blackbirds and Mynas for ground cover insects
Crows bark-scavenging for borers and tree worms
Honeyeaters fighting all comers for flowering red gums pollen
Pigeons fossicking the soil minding their own business
to finish giant Fruit Bats
some say escapees from a botanical gardens cull
add a creepy aura at night....

I hear currawongs threading
their melodic calls through
the trees, sewing a dark 
into the cold air.
And far below,
a flock of white cockatoos 
screech their noisy chaos 
along the deepening shadows
of the valley floor. 

They seem like dabs 
of zinc white escaping
from a painting, sprouting
wings to lift them
from the canvas 
and fly them to where
they flicker on the edge
of the unseen, 
before dissolving forever
into the distances
of blue ultramarine.
