october noon sounds

weird bird tweet
cheep cheep cheep
traffic in the distance
barely perceptible breeze

rooster crow
dogs chase squirrel
his get away is lickety split
up a hickory tree

wind chimes a merry melody
smell of autumn leaves
a far off conversation
drowned out by ambulance siren

motorcycle engine revs
trill of another bird
I soak up the sunshine
feeling safe in Vitamin D

dog’s gruff bark startles me
his pal runs off the porch
air conditioner kicks on
the only sound now except the wind chime
gentle sounds of an October day at noon
