Her sleeping sounds Deep, sonorous snores As though sawing oak limbs With dull blades. Food arrives Her bucket clinks against The metal pole And like an April bear She grunts, then lumbers Leaving behind Her piglet dreams.
Test or don't test Quarantine or not Stay at home order Rebound resurgence or a relapse of the Corona virus and staying home is a part of our daily lives Mask wearing required as a stop to the spread Stay six feet apart A new normal When the nation is on hold The world is also affected And lives are told we will be fine and fined if we don't comply to order We are closed to business Except drive through and take out as a stimulus check is available to have the economy jump start again but if we don't get tested as the country opens up we won't be flattening the curve as the shut down won't work going back to square one. I hear this sound in my head as I watch the news instead of a simple haiku
Crows loudly sound out As politics on T.V. drowning out the peace
Great, thanks for sharing. I really love sounds and ringtones, on my android device there are so many sound ringtones that I like: https://sonneriepro.com/

ReplyDeleteHer sleeping sounds
Deep, sonorous snores
As though sawing oak limbs
With dull blades.
Food arrives
Her bucket clinks against
The metal pole
And like an April bear
She grunts, then lumbers
Leaving behind
Her piglet dreams.

What's That Sound
ReplyDeleteTest or don't test
Quarantine or not
Stay at home order
Rebound resurgence
or a relapse of the
Corona virus
and staying home
is a part of our
daily lives
Mask wearing required
as a stop to the spread
Stay six feet apart
A new normal
When the nation is on hold
The world is also affected
And lives are told
we will be fine and fined
if we don't comply to order
We are closed to business
Except drive through and
take out as a stimulus
check is available to
have the economy jump
start again but if we
don't get tested as
the country opens up
we won't be flattening
the curve as the shut down
won't work going back to
square one. I hear this sound
in my head as I watch the news
instead of a simple haiku
Crows loudly sound out
As politics on T.V.
drowning out the
peace
Thoughtfully written!

ReplyDeleteMy morning sounds like Amy
ReplyDeleteShe’s always first one up
I awake to coffee sips and keyboard clicks and slippers in the kitchen.
Our hens coo and chuckle
While a jay bird scolds someone from the roof
Hawks and kites chip away at the sky
Wrens, the yard.
I don’t know my neighbor’s name but I know her son’s cry
And I know when the mail arrives.
The engine and the urgency is
Not the neighbor’s, or mine.
Inside corner sewing machine and top hits from the seventies
And best of all, two daughters laugh.
It gets me every time.
another siren
ReplyDeletethis one comes close
the neighbor
