An Ordinary Day in the Yard

Cockatoo’s sinister laughter in the wind,
mocking our every move.
The gentle leaves blowing in the distance,
creating silent movements and gentle gestures.
The continuous laughter of joyful children,
energetically chasing each other, hot on each other’s heels.
The terrifying roar of a brutal motorcycle,
zooming past the children, staring in awe.
The petrifying echoes of metal poles,
each with a marvellous chime.
The giant mountains made of sand,
churning under children’s feet as they conquer their peaks.
The beautiful sound of the magpies,
a unique tune to all songs.
Just another day in the yard.
