At the sound of the opening door 
The crows cawed a warning
A stray cat perched upon the fence
Meowed to greet this morning

The warm sticky fog touched each pore
Made life uncomfortable
How early in spring does summer
Appear so formidable 

Each plant contained within a pot
Cries out for moisture please
Like works upon the edited page
Call for a similar reprise

From old, old themes can lines read new
To modern generations
Let my lines ring within their hearts
A message to nations

The sound of thunder marked the time
But no lightning was seen
Like a comet always has a tail
Youth dream their awesome dreams

Some fall by the wayside consumed
Like seed pecked by those crows
Let God's message be heard by all
His love for man disclose
