Neville the Kookaburra Bird

The serious eyes of a Bird with courage...

He sits on a branch and observes his world 

where Koala Bears are growing extinct... 

They have been his closest friends through 

thick and thin... in fowl wild weather and 

sunshine blue sky days with smiles... 

He wonders why there needs to be Love  

when the prospect of living is dismal.  

But hope is free for the asking and therefor 

he will continue waiting for a Valentine Quill 

to pen him a Love Song by Neil Diamond... 

Song Sung Blue... Weeping like a Willow 

Song Sung Blue... Sleeping on my Pillow... 

A poem by Poet Pat Wedel... 

dedicated to Poet Neville...

The photo and the words. So beautiful. Tomorrow 10 degrees in Michigan. Smart birds are staying down south. No singing birds here in Michigan. Thank you dear Pat for sharing the amazing poetry.

dearest John... thank you for your charming review.
The Kookaburra Bird has fascinating blue eyes and extraordinary feathers. It seems as if he could speak much like a Parrot. It is amazing to see the colors and personalities of birds all over the World. They put on such a Fashion Show. Ten degrees is rather cold... hope you have a Feather Comforter. truly, Pat

I have a few blankets dear Pat and you are welcome my friend.

WHOA! What a delightful way to embark on my day at the cafe! (sometimes rhymes sneak up on me!) I wanted to review a couple young friends in my read-request bin first, but when I saw this title, I had to click this one first instead! I love both of you & it's so great to see this burst of affection between you. I love the "down under" flavor, along with Neil Diamond lyrics, and a bird-name that is suspiciously MADE for a certain poet here, don'tcha think? You are floating hearts around here, woman! (((HUGS))) Fondly, Margie

Margie dear... Neville mentioned the name of the Bird... I was able to copy an Inage from Google to insert above my poem. It was fun to surprise our friend. The Bird is gorgeous with blue eyes. Thanks for reading. Happy Valentines and hearts full of love, Pat

I want to BE that bird . . . those eyes, that blue plumage!

Promises made should be kept...
