The fat crow caws
from the top
of the peppercorn tree
kraak kraak kraak
loud, loutish, laconic
& the bloke next door calls out
to his wife
what’s that, dear?
what’s that?

it cracks me up every time I hear him in the backyard, calling out on cue 🙂 the wife must either be deaf or have a great sense of humor 🙂

Ha! This is fantastic. Oh man, I’ll have to ask my partner what animal call my voice most resembles. I’m sure there are times when all he hears is is “screech.” I’ll ask him and get back to you.

He says I sound like a kookaburra. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UXA0-YAoo9Q&ab_channel=RickSchwartz. Oh man, laughing and crying now. It’s true.

Lol, Just played the video. Man, you’ve set the bar high 🙂 a crow can’t compete with the richness of the kookaburra’s sound. Now can we get a poem out of this? that’s the question 🙂

Well, I always knew I was kooky, but the burra part may take some imagination. 😂 Yes, could be. A poem may lurk in those laughs.
