nature's noises


our windows are open,
i've got one thing to say,
nature is noisy,
"oy vey!"

what's with the frogs,
they don't take a break,
they sing day and night,
and keep me awake!

When the geese first returned,
they filled me with awe,
now when they honk,
i say, "uff da!"

finches that twitter,
blackbirds that trill,
the sound of a killdeer,
strikes me as shrill.

but saturday mornings.
those sounds all withdraw.
outsung by lawn mowers.
"ay carumba!"
