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! 5-23-2020 Let the Pens Flow - Sijo Poetry Contest Sponsored by: Jenish Somadas

Hilariously done Jeanne. I hear roosters every day, not only in the morning but in the afternoon. I adore their crowing!
