Foraging through undergrowth,
the Superb Fairy Wren
jauntily hops and bounces

velvety blue plumage; black-masked;
yellow petals collected
for its grey-brown mate.

Daintily, it dances
from earth to bough to leaf;
the garden its stage.

Flash of blue; flicker of brown;
bringer of joy
straight to the heart.
