These Are My JOTtings, Part #2

Shakespearean Sonnet: "Sunset Choir"

A squirrel alerts of family safety needs.
A goose now honks to show his kin the way.
A dog barks loudly. Now, the shadow heeds.
The chirping birds have many sweets to say.

The gutt'ral cheeps of mockingbird demands.
The cruising cars are going evermore.
What myriad songs the mockingbird by plan
regales his daily audience with more.

The heavy-engined sportscar revs and runs.
Our AC Unit pops itself to "On."
Each silent light roars in the ears as done,
while cloak of night descends the world upon.

The geese from Canada are honking past
as night ascends the choir's stage at last.
