Luscious cool shelter

Shrill calls of whipbirds echo

Em'rald fans quiver

Tears of the tempest gather

Falling with unending life

Kit: The rainforest near where I live are definitely luscious!

Doireann: Thank you for the Open Call. I hope I did okay.

dianaani: The Australian Whipbird makes a whip-crack noise ... it can be very loud when in the rainforest ... and it's such a small bird too!
