Morning's Cacophony

Morning's on my little front porch begin quiet, then an array of sounds flow by as the day begins. Sounds both from nature and man break the quietness of night as sunrise breaks the dark of night.

Morning’s Cacophony

There are moments stillness in the air

As a new day begins to share

Faint hum of distance cars, begins to grow

“Urr, urr, urr, echos the rooster crows

Cars rush by with a “vroom, vroom”

“Cheer-up, cheer-up” the robin sings his tune

“Squawk, squawk, squawk’’sings the bluejay choir

Finches “twitter, twitter” the pitch much higher

“Rumble, rumble “as a truck rolls past

Quietness moments briefly last

Rooster crows. “urrr, urrr, ur” once more

Signaling morning is at the door

“Twitter, twitter” the house finch’s refrain

A gentle song breaking the quiet chain

Nature’s melody mingles with the noise

Quiet moments of gratitude for the joys

Welcoming this gift of a new day

As a cacophony of sounds starts to play
