Lots Of Feathered Friends

By Paul McCann

, 

 

Cockatoo one talked

Cockatoo two squawked .

Cockatoo one flew .

 

Kookaburras came .

Kookaburras sat  .

Kookaburras two .

 

There’s one , two and three

galahs on a tree

pink faced and silly .

 .

See the four Emu’s  .

Under the gum tree..

Running round crazy .

 

One , two , three,. four, five

whip birds in the sun

whistling through the scrub .  .

 

The six magpies sat

on an old tin roof ,

of an a outback pub.

 

Seven cockatiels

hiding from the sun

on a summers day .

 

Eight willie wagtails

running here and there

they’ve all lost their way .

 

Nine noisy miners

kicking up a storm  

looking for a nest

 

Ten tiny finches

flirting on a branch

they’ve no where to rest .  

.

I can see this as a picture book for young children. I think each stanza with a picture to illustrate your words going from 1 to 10 would be beautiful too. If I may ask ,on the last line, did you mean to say, "They've no where to rest?". Enjoyed the flow annd imagry of this poem very much.smiley
