18 |   "The birdlife"         [pantoum]


The acorns are falling
and striking the asphalt
a siren is pealing
the wind is by default
and striking the asphalt
the corn shall not grow
the wind is by default
and rain comes in tow

the corn shall not grow
the cricket agrees
and rain comes in tow
acknowledge the trees
the cricket agrees
the car makes its noise
acknowledge the trees
and notice the joys

the car makes its noise
the dog gives its bark
and notice the joys
the sky not yet dark
the dog gives its bark
the birdlife is calling
the sky not yet dark
the acorns are falling

This is no. 18 in a sequence, Early Autumn Pantoums
