Up On the Roof

On the rooftop I hear a peck peck peck 
from a black bird tapping at a hard steel roof 
on the lawn a little rabbit is grazing  the grass 
all this, before the sun even has a chance to blare 

The keys on my board go click click click 
from a distance I view the waking trees 
and type away, by a newborn light 
all this, while I drink my morning coffee

The flush of a toilet he is up and about 
from my room I can hear him shaving and prepping 
we are leaving for the beach soon 
all this and then more, when I get to the shore, 

there will be shells to pick and water to adore 
we have our sun hats on and we are off   
together we are ready to explore
the naturous beauty that God has so lovingly bestowed.

Lovely onomatopoeia sounds with a perfect ending on the beach. God gave us a fabulous creation.
