Rainbow Lorikeet 
to eat the red banana
has to fly for hours...

rolling green hills, woods
noon sun and black-eyed susans
northern lights sunset

cherry trees, two hearts
lavender fields and lilacs
lorikeet rainbow...

feeding on pollen and nectar
sweeping it in with brush tipped tongue
rainbow lorikeet is an excellent talker
I teach him to say king daddy
so I can keep him...

a pair of 
rainbow
Lorikeet birds
Spin free 
as a Ferris wheel
Upon 
the highest branch
In the garden of 
a thousand eyes  
from 
their favorite olive green
Pistachio tree
Sun-bake hands 
Shall 
pray for thee
Upon 
the highest branch...

Wheels of Marbles

Your mind- a box,
box on wheels
of marbles
to gallop in
the world of 
imagination.

You canter on 
these imaginative 
marbles like 
hurting words
of your poems.

O’,cruel marbles
ride him to 
the sanctum- woods
to see- how lorikeet waits
for her lory
to suck the nectar
from his beak !

Joe black Cat

black as the night, 
gone in flight,
when you turn he isnt there,
locks dont hold,
the black im told,,
has buggered off orright,
brown snakes do run in fright,
cos the black he isn’t there,
and Halliwell tears his hair,
as Joe bestalks the night….

Don

Take yer eyes off Joe and he's gone, tangled with a few deadly Brown snakes already,
wheres the antivennine hey.....

LORIKEET IS the owner of the black kitty...

If I was an Australian lorikeet
I’d allow you to call me Mr. Birdseye Pete
Flying to the East Indies rather neat
Yes I would travel far to find my sweet.
Pretty nest we’d make that you could not beat.

All eight of our boy birds we would call Pete.
The girls would be called names that rhyme so neat.
Possible names like Jeet, Bleat, Feat, and Sheet.
I will have a wife the next time we meet.
Or my name is not Mr. Birdseye Pete....
