The Morning Call

Chirps, clicks and hoots animate all the trees
A distant rooster tests his voice
An owl passes down all the notes from his shift
Blue jays enter the yard so boldly
To test the theory of the early bird
Squawks, whistles…
A cool, sweet blanket of air
Slowly warming to the idea of a morning sun
