Caroling Daybreak
Sunrise slips in
sprinkling light,
stippling color,
accompanied by robins’
song
Next, rustle of chipmunk,
squirrel and towhee
among last fall’s leaves
crake of redwings amid
cattails,
woodpecker percussion,
peepers trill in the pond
Then, chickadee chatter,
cackling of grackles,
phoebes squeaky squawk
Layer by layer the chorus
increases –
a symphony of voices, all caroling
in harmonious cacophony
NIce one! On my walk tonight, I think thatmI heard caroling nightfall!:)
ReplyDelete:-) I'm sure you did! The symphony never really stops. :-)) Thanks for stopping by, Patricia! I appreciate the company. ;-)
DeletePamela, this is the antidote to my poem on depression, yay! Your description of the layer upon layer of symphonic nature is lovely, plus the sly internal rhymes. And what's a towhee? I'll google it - good to learn something knew every day, I believe. Hey, what a sweet bird! Google had a cute pic. Harmonious cacophony - bliss! Thanks, Amy
