Kookaburra sits
On a clothes line tall,
Carefully surveying
The urban sprawl.
Spying a movement
In the grass,
He swoops down swiftly.
Dinner at last!
Won’t you laugh kookaburra,
Laugh for me?
Your life is so much harder
Than it used to be.

Your life is so much harder

Lovely poem Stephanie. Great photo too.
So great to see your poetry to go with my photo! I wondered what he was thinking that day. It’s so wondrous to hear the ‘Aussie alarm clock’, isn’t it? …If you could add my copyright line, I’d appreciate it. cheerios, CC (Photo credit: © CC Richards and Daytripper Sippers, 2014, http://www.daytrippersippers.WordPress.com)
