Crafting a Cockatoo by Linda Kohler

Leave a comment
By australianchildrenspoetry February 4, 2026

Bright white cotton for its feathers,
Beak hooked from grey-black twine,
Whitish stitches for its eye-rings,
Dark glossy beads for eyes.

A strong yarn for its feet and claws,
Its crest, a yellow fleece — 
A sulphur-crested cockatoo!
I hope it doesn’t screech!
