Courtship

Bowerbird sings to his lady love:

Now see what I've made you—

a courting nest with leaves and flowers,

with tiny shells and stones of blue,

with lacy fern and foil wraps

and seven shiny bottle caps.

I found a brush of tender bark

and berry juice to paint inside.

I found a ribbon, soft and wide.

Come, lady love, and be my bride.
