Chicken Memories

1
Yes, I miss the roosters, 
like Gabriel's Horn calling me home, 
Summer mornings 4:00; 
Crayon Chickens 
drawing everywhere there was dirt, 
cackling, quarreling, 
Cu-cu-ling those weird worrying uh-ohs 
when the hawks circled, 
Fleeing for the coops or the trees;

We raised chickens on the farm, so I could relate to every line. Great job, Thomas.
