Jeanne Mcgee Poet Sijo

The Baker

In the stillness of morning   while stars still shine,  hints the new dawn

Wakes the baker of pastries    and roosters’    cock-a-doddle-do 

I need more sleep, says the baker   …time for a fresh rooster pie!

Caren Krutsinger May 24, 2020 at 5:03 AM Hilariously done Jeanne. I hear roosters every day, not only in the morning but in the afternoon. I adore their crowing!
