Corella Sky




CORELLA SKY

Summer's morning sky
Is all corella cry

Where the wrench-faced blanche of cockatoos
Screech not just by ones and twos

But in concert of sun-struck thousands where all the audience play
Each manic bird the Prima Donna of the day

So their screamed songs lash the air with siren calls
To whip fellow creature ears in stiff-feathered caterwauls

As if to prove their number in the wild sanctimony
Found in each other's raucous cacophony.
