Indoors Kookaburra

The curtains drew
So everyone knew 
Kookaburra has decided 
Another day of hiding.

Kookaburra forgets 
When Kookaburra last flew.
Kookaburra sickly 
Had to fight off the flu.

Exactly what kind of flu 
Kookaburra has 
Wasn't that bad.
It wasn't contagious.

Can't catch it from his point of view.
It was just Kookaburra 
Wanted to be left alone.

A bird with his type of flu 

Gets nervous if leaving home.

So year by year 
He stayed indoors.
You will remember Kookaburra 
Hides, as I mentioned before.

Dreams of trees 
Came to him at night.
Come morning, though,
Kookaburra never takes flight.

Once a bird mighty,
Now all out of fight,
Kookaburra reflects 
On what once he called life.

It is so subtle at first. By the end the sadness pricks at my heart. Well done. God Bless.
