Sounds of the Day
Sounds of the Day Contest
Sponsor: Nayda Ivette Negron
Accentuated by nature the hushed willow gently weeps,
Beneath the sun the sparrow cries as he gently sleeps,
Above the clouds the eagle flies to catch his helpless prey,
For these are the sounds I long for during the beautiful day.
The tweaking of the baby doe nestled in his mother’s arms,
The gentle hawing that follows from the colt inside the barn,
The breath of breezes whispered from gramma’s ol’ maple tree,
All create the sounds I love to hear full of exceptional majesty.
Sweet calling of the mother goose to feed her baby ducklings,
The tender swaying of the pigeons as they nest in coupling,
Whispers of the yellow sunflower seedlings fertilizing the field,
Captivating sweet tunes of nature, oh how it does appeal.
Articulating southern twang of a sweet newborn baby giraffe,
The accents of mooing and milking of a sweet newborn baby calf,
The resounding howling of my dogs while with the ball they play,
For these are the sounds I long for during the beautiful day.
