Notes About The Poem
Just a write for fun..Sara

Life Draws Me Away

Sleepily the night's rain and morning fog
Click-clacked upon leaf covered ground from the eaves
Coating things even roosters' monologue
Saturating it heavily so tight like basket weave

One rooster sounds like has laryngitis
Maybe he's young one who just got his crow
Watch out you old roosters he might steal a kiss
And some hens from the hen house through hedge row

Fog rises over creek up sloping hill
Settles into the cracks and crevices 
My joints, muscles, and heart giving a chill
Could be depressing but there are devices

Like trying to figure what sounds are played
In nature this wet morn, like dove or wren
Then the sound of something that's human made
Breaks the symphony of sounds that's been 

Duty calls quietly need to change to daily chores
Life draws from me my time out on the porch
