Writer's Island prompt ~ Curiosity
~
Kookaburra curiosity is
Subtle curiosity
~
The play begins with
A lonely watcher
Who looks as if he is intrigued
With somewhere else
But just happens
To be in a tree
Overlooking your driveway
And just happens
To have landed there
When you drive home
~
~
Kookaburra curiosity is all about
Keeping movements
In leafy shadows
~
~
It is all about being
Cool
Nonchalent
~
~
It is all about being
Tuned
Together
~
~
It is all about looking
Cute ~
Pretending your movements
Are of passing interest ~
But when you toss down
Some food
We will gracefully dive down
Just short of where the food lies ~
Watch you ~
And then hop over
To partake in your offerings
~
We will reward you with
A roll of hearty laughter
In some distant
Shady
Leaves
~
