At the sound of an opening door
crows cawed a warning
A stray cat perched upon the fence
meowed good morning

The warm sticky fog touched each pore
Made life uncomfortable
How early in spring does summer
Appear so formidable

Each plant contained within a pot
Cries for moisture please
Like works upon the edited page
Call a similar reprise

From old, old themes can lines read new
to modern generations
Let my lines ring within their hearts
a message to nations

Old, old themes are worth repeating, with a warm and welcome touch. Send them out, to all a greeting, something of a gentle touch.
