Eve Roper Poet Personification

The Rooster

I am up in the morning sunrise,
Perch aloft a fence post,
Protecting the hen coop. 

All around the peaceful farm, 
The animals and humans are sleeping
While I'm on graveyard shift 
Watching out for the shrewd fox. 

Cock-a-doodle-doo!

Sound of fluttering wings 
Of flying, cackling, nesting hens
In the coop.

Cock-a-doodle-doo! 

Humans, it's time to get up 
Dress in your overalls, 
Punch your time card; 
A day of callus work 
From dawn until dusk.

Phillip Garcia July 9, 2019 at 1:07 AM Omg it's waaaay too early in the morning for your rooster shenanigans, Eve. I don't know that I've ever heard a rooster cook a doodle doo, but I've dealt with any number of hens, so i can relate to your farmer. Excellent write! Good luck in the contest.
