Rainbow Lorikeets
It’s limerick month. I won’t necessarily do one a day, but maybe every second day or so.
Two lorikeets in Lover’s Lane,
He hopes she won’t leave him in pain,
His eyes close in love
As he coos from above,
And she whispers, “Oh, say it again!”
Sparrow’s Advice
leave that walnut husk
don’t you know they have toxins?
very bad for you
Pardon Me?
Happy Thanksgiving to all my friends and family in the U.S.
And here we have some Montana turkeys,
looking for presidential pardons….
turkey dinner looms
can we get a pardon soon?
then we will give thanks
Australian Pelican
no trouble for me
resting the weight of my bill
keeping my nose clean
Little Corellas
perching corellas
relax up high in the shade
preening and snoozing
Let’s Play
let’s play and have fun
why are you swimming away?
I don’t understand
Warmed by the Sun
soaking up sunshine
coyote delays breakfast
giving quail respite
Golden-Crowned Sparrow
November is haiku month for me.
smooth and unruffled
he contemplates his safety
competing for seeds
Bath Time
Sooty, the fox sparrow, is overjoyed to find a bathtub, even as the fall weather cools down.
“Feels so good to cool my heels.”
“Maybe a little splash under the armpits will freshen me up.”
Then he spies something.
“A-a-a-a-k-k-k-k! What dirty birdy pooped in the pool?”
“Oh, deardeardear! I hope I didn’t get any on me!”
“Only one thing to do. Time for a vigorous showery birdbath and hope nothing sticks.”
“What are YOU looking at? Did you have a shower today? Don’t talk to me if you’re not clean.”
