An Ode To The Kookaburra
For Rory
Have you ever met the magnificent kookaburra?
Cheeky he is, did you know he giggles?
I wonder what could possibly make him do that?
his sense of humor, somewhat a tool I suppose?
after all, he does have to sing for his supper
and his clothes are pretty bright too
sitting, perched on a gum tree waiting patiently
for a mouse or even a snake to devour
supper on the table in no time?
I wonder does he imagine ice-scream and Mozart with that?
now I suspect… you think I’m mad?
I often think there’s a kookaburra in all us poets?
after all, we are graciously colorful
we stand on our perch
we laugh, we cry, we sing
and we also triumph
feeding our hunger
with words of magic from deep within our souls
that help us take flight.

Love a perfect resolve, and just personally, it just might be the medicine we all need to laugh at the world
I think my favourite line must be;
He's sense of humour, somewhat a tool I suppose
Excellent
Thank you dear Rory, it was my pleasure to share this and I'm so glad you have enjoyed it so much. A magnificent species of Bird and an incredible honour to research, and to write. Happy Sunday/Monday to you dear Poet. 🌹
Super cool write Shirley H.
Really loved the twist.
Thanks for the inspiration.
Thank you dear Wilford, after a lovely conversation with Rory on another poem, I dug out some of my work from 15 years ago, a miracle I even found it, it's my pleasure to share with you all. A stunning bird this one widely known as the Kingfisher. 🌹
