Under the roof

Sitting on deck

What do I hear

Watching birds peck

Close my eyes tight

Let my ears see

Visions pop out

Listen and be

Leaves swirl and chrunch

From a squirrel chase

Flowers abuzz

Bumbles taste

Roar up above

High in the sky

Quickly it fades

White jet flew by

Piercing loud buzz

Too loud for bee

Power saw cuts

Down a dead tree

Ear splitting squawk

From the porch rail

"Peanuts I want"

A blue jay wails

Distant hammers

Building a room

Unloading wood

With a loud boom

Flutters and tweets

Come from below

Songbirds jostle

On feeder poles

Sudden loud squeaks

Door hinge needs oil

Rumbling trucks

Symbols of toil

Out near the road

Mumbling talk

People pass by

On evening walk

Starts with a hiss

Changes to plops

Storm rolling in

Temperature drops

What do you hear

Sitting on deck

Just close your eyes

Enjoy low-tech
