Vicki Brodie, Burlingame, CA

Birds making a cacophony of sound
While a spider’s silken thread is blowing to and fro.
A car whizzes by.

The chorus continues while a gentle breeze
Blows through the trees.
A human voice utters in the distance.

A cat saunters out, surveys the scene and trots off.
A crow’s raucous sound is heard from up above.
A jet goes by.

Leaves drop from a willow as its branches sway in the breeze.
The birds are singing.
A siren wails then fades away.

There are more planes now.
A bird, perhaps a sparrow, lands on the birdbath.
Bird and bath are swathed in sunlight.

The sun approaches
Soon the mild morning shade
Will give way to hot afternoon sunlight.
