A Haiku From Today’s Walk

poetry, prose, and photography
Though it’s not yet dawn
The neighbor’s dog is howling
Life in the suburbs
Yes, I am awake
And the birds sing with vigor
Dawn has not yet come
I’m amazed at the number of birds singing right now. Well, I think one of the loudest sounds is an insect, but I digress. It’s quite boisterous. Oddly, as daylight comes their sounds will quiet. Perhaps just supplanted by human noise. Perhaps.
The early eighties
Lived in Seattle’s suburbs
Brutal for us geeks
