Vying to heaven
I stretch
semblance
foliage tips
surfing, crouch
balance pinged
on carpet board
curlicue toes
misdirected view
untraceable beak
within coppice leaves
sabotaging the silence
exercise curtailed
unidentified
spy
turn, turn in wishful whist
player of two eyes
perplexed
its view, fields of
scattered omelettes
third stretch position, arms
triangle, pull down
spring-muscular frame
tension of tide
foreign interference
pause-button
bravado
sassy New Holland honeyeater
lively lipping, badgering
Kookaburra
Mohawk, beak on
steroids
unperturbed
Kingfisher
rhymes my mirth
plummet-up leg,
hold, kangaroo-hop, release
embroider of limbs, amongst
tapestry bird scenes
