Late afternoon
On the terrace
The sun is warming my back
He’s facing me, eyes shut
A jackhammer in the distance
Drrrr drrrr drrrr drrrr drrrr
A drill in the neighbour’s house
Then a hammer
Bang bang bang
Rainbow lorikeets are holding a meeting
Noisy buggers
Our canary is tweeting inside
Sweet bird
Still with us
Although very old
I look up
A jet plane in the blue sky
High above
A white speck
Gliding by quietly
Oh!
A siren’s blaring in the distance
Coming closer
Then it stops
Someone’s hurt
No doubt
Peaceful afternoon
On the terrace

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.

Thank you, Pam. I’m not sure if that’s how it’s done. I’m waiting for Doug’s verdict.
