On my neighbours’ rooftop
Sydney
Australia

Kookaburra sweet,
you neither chirp nor tweet.
Your laughter is much like mine,
my cackle is much like thine.
We are two sister souls,
one clad in feathers,
the other in clothes.

P.S., The name Kookaburra is onomatopoeic of its call from Wiradjuri “guuguubarra”.

What a clear picture. Chuckled at the comparison.
It’s true! If you heard me laugh, you’d agree. 🙂 Thanks, Benita, for dropping by.
cute fellow 🙂
Thanks for the compliment 🙂
Lovely read — I am smiling now 🙂
Thanks for reading and commenting, Christy. So happy my little ditty put a smile on your pretty face. 🙂
Hello Irina…
How creative that you have picked up an onomatopeia as a name for this little bird.
I enjoyed the poem as it has its own rhyme anda sort of inner music.
Very sweet, almost like a birdie singing from an aussie roof…
I wish you a lovely weekend ahead and send you many hugs, dear Irina,
Aquileana 😉
It’s the Aborigines who were creative naming this laughing bird “guuguubarra” and the Europeans then modified it only slightly. Thank you so much for your lovely comment, dear Aquileana. One of these days I’ll post some more photos of my beloved Kookaburra.
Have a lovely weekend! Hugs 🙂 Irina
This kookaburra not only sounds human, she even looks a little human too. She is such a cutie, an amazing example of Australia’s unique wildlife.
Thanks for sharing, Irina!

Thanks for your lovely comment, Vijay. 🙂
How gorgeous this creature is! Poem is beautiful — light and bubbly. The comparison, by the way, made me chuckle.
Thanks for liking both the bird and the little ditty. 🙂
