The Earl’ of Day
Virginia Salter

Walked early
under pearly sky
book in hand
sun in my eye

Quiet time
of solitude
sound waves tickled,
cock-a-doodle-dooed

A bit in shock
in this morning town
where sidewalks run
up street and down

The grinding gears
of the trashman’s bane
rocked my ears
with reeds of pain

Yet strolling on
round each bend ahead
reading words of grace
with humor fed

Amazed a bit
at this small town’s sounds
when a brand-new rooster
doodles ‘nother round

Walking in
the earl’ of day
fills one with glee
smoothes the fray

A touch of country
music to ears
calms the soul
quells life’s fears

This is good. And I like country music, too.

Thank you both, rooster crows are wonderful country music, aren't they!  I surely didn't think I'd be hearing them in town, though.
