The Bird of Mimicking
By Aletta K

Lyrebirds match the dry brown leaves,
as we chirp across the trees.
The sun glared upon the flaky oaks,
as I have met new talkative folks.
I am the one who’s playing that melody!
The wind is spiraling in ecstasy.
Darting up to the dark cloudy sky,
then I mimicked a loud child’s cry.
Lyrebirds, pests, rascals or mimics.
They might sound bad but don’t be a critic.
It mimics just to impress,
and it won’t ever rest.
