Sound Poem A Daily Create

Just outside the back door

Chickadee dee

Flirp of the robin

Gobble of the turkey strutting away

Hum of a car on the distant 

highway 

Clunks of a semi over on the 

bridge

Thump de thump of the cat running 

back inside

Where a drawer slides open, 

pauses, clink of silverware, 

and closes 

Soft vroom of the motor starting in 

the work truck next door

Rustle from the breeze or a critter 

slipping through, away from the cat

In the crisp autumn leaves of the 

sycamore still clinging

to the edges of the yard

A sigh from me 

for the peace of the scene,

Lost in the whisper of women’s 

freedom, a fading dream.
