country-side

countryside's bird sounds
in morn's restful quiet peace
traffic starts flowing
sweet mood walks away until
hot sun drops in western sky  

daybreak on the porch
swallows chirp, doves coo, crows caw....
those front loaders crank

Rowena Velasco Date: 8/3/2025 7:13:00 AM This captures the shift from peaceful morning to the buzz of the day so perfectly! I could hear every sound—from the birds to the machinery. Such a relatable slice of countryside life. Login to Reply Sara Kendrick Date: 8/3/2025 10:03:00 AM Thank you, Rowena. It gets noisy here during the day for six of the seven days in a week so the quiet of early morning is appreciated. Thanks for the kind review of my work. I am glad that it was clear to you in its meaning. Sara K

Sara Etgen-Baker Date: 8/1/2025 4:24:00 PM we live on the edge of our town, the countryside just beyond our backyard fence. I enjoy sitting on the porch, watching and listening as the day unfolds. Right now, haybalers can be heard in the background.

John Loving Iii Date: 8/1/2025 6:58:00 AM due to past I know what a loader is. As was I was the one being loaded. Login to Reply Sara Kendrick Date: 8/1/2025 9:12:00 AM John, why in the world why were you being loaded? (Maybe you are speaking about being loaded with something like wine) I am speaking about a front-end loader on a very large John Deere tractor which is used to load trash/garbage at a transfer station. The sounds start at around 6 A.M. but even at 2:30 some traffic starts up for those who go in to do the businesses front loaded dumpsters. Sara K
