Hearing the Day Start
Onomatopoeic:
caw caw caw
the crow's on my roof
waiting for their breakfast,
chatter chatter
the magpie's call
usually first to the table,
a shrill little tweet
go the sparrow's and their relatives
awaiting their feed
in smaller bites
from the safety of their prickly bush;
the sounds of the morning's
for me
are heaven sent.
