Great swatches of colour
\nLighten each day
\nWith so much intensity
\nAnd lustrous display
\nThe greatest of artists
\nThe world ever knew
\nHas created feathers
\nOf every hue<\/p>\n
Meteor flashes, flickering lights
\nPolorIzation and all at the heights
\nOf imagination where the parrot hordes fly
\nFlambuoyant effulgent incandescent of eye
\nAuroral blushing limelight and more
\nOur eyelashes flicker
\nFeeling the raw
\nPrimary colours
\nThe prism of life
\nThe vivid the brilliant
\nIt all seems so rife<\/p>\n
Garish and gutsy lurid and loud
\nLook at the pastels muted and proud
\nMellow and weathered harmonious too
\nPearliness hoariness piercingly true
\nAlabaster and chalk marble and snow
\nThe great parrot clouds
\nWhere ere they go<\/p>\n
Charcoal and soot pigmented gloom
\nMonochrome slate the grizzly tomb
\nCopper and cinnamon mahogany
\nThe rose fingered dawn
\nAnd the rich burgundy
\nCadmium copper
\nMustard brimstone
\nThe greenwood the olivine
\nSallow thats shown<\/p>\n
Gentian and ultramarine
\nDamsons too
\nTigers eye peacocks tail
\nShot silk will do
\nDapling stippling reticulation
\nThe parrots are coming
\nA motley creation<\/p>\n
Chameleons grizzled skewbald and roan
\nStreaked and striated
\nEach visual is known
\nPerceive for that moment
\nThe thrill of the cloud
\nOf the parrots their fire
\nAll magick endowed<\/p>\n
As they sweep on the thermals
\nAnd swoop into view
\nA great revelation
\nTheir pageantry too
\nIn flight entertainment
\nThe greatest tableau
\nThen gone in an instant
\nLost in the glow<\/p>\n
Their stream of consciousness
\nTheir power of thought
\nThey are the marvel
\nThat our eyes have sort
\nTheir cerebration their brooding sighs
\nTheir retrospection
\nUp into their skies.<\/p>\n
