they have ravaged
my apricot tree again
and for so many years previously now
and then sodded off
cause it got a little bit cold
took every single leaf
and sodded off
cause it got a little bit cold
i miss the squawky little buggers
squeaking and squawking
hanging upside down
awesomley coloured
squawky avian clowns
i miss their feats of speed
between the trees
racing the breeze
racing the sky
racing each other
there are plenty of Crimson Rosella's about
and a few King Parrots every now and then
but i miss the Rainbow Lorikeets
the colour and the chaos
a special blend
they brought an A game
every single time
the squawking
the fuss
the noise
trying to tell the girls
from the boys
enjoying every second
of this display
enjoying this natural beauty
enjoying it every day

So You Decided To Become a Nurse Practitioner:
So you decided to become an "Advanced Practice" nurse. Congratulations!... is what I would say if this was a good idea. Grad school? In this economy? What were you thinking? Likely it was something along the lines of either 1) “I've seen these other chucklefucks do it— Why can't I?” or even 2) “I've got a nice career, I should shake it up. I miss feeling like I have no clue what I'm doing.”

Trying to tell the girls from the boys. I really loved that line! Beautiful poem!
I have some new appreciation for birds as I’ve grown older, I think it has something to do with the mindfulness associated with them (and watching them) that your piece seems to demonstrate. Loved this one Brenton!
Wow. They are beautiful. I have always enjoyed birds. When I was a girl, I loved listening and mimicking the love doves. Such fond memories there songs bring back. Great work
Aw, I loved this so much! I can see how they were annoying while destroying your tree, but they must have been so sweet and entertaining otherwise 🥲 It certainly sounds like it! Amazing imagery 😍
