Backyard Sonata

Sounds carry in upon the breeze.
Pollen just made someone sneeze.
On the trail some kids are talking
They're out there with their parents walking.
Woodpecker tapping on a tree.
A songbird warbles happily.
The sun is setting behind the hill.
This tranquil scene is hardly still.
Frogs are croaking in the grass
While squirrels scoot about so fast.
And there a hawk upon the wind
Circles and circles again and again.
This is the vision from my backyard.
It really should be on a postcard.
