Poetically Prompted

Sounds Around

sounds abound all around
singing ringing-a-dingling
birdsong bong ding-a-dong

wind that blows
blows your nose
nose ahchoos
ahchoos then snooze

snoring coughing consciousness dropping
crowing knowing rising
yawn at dawn moving on

dishes clanking
clanking bells
bells are ringing
ringing ears
