old poets
never die
nor do they
fade away
they live
on and on
every time
you turn
the page

It's nice you have your friends;
It's nice everyone's got your back.
It's nice people think you're kind.
It's nice you're part of the team.

*Too bad I can never be that person

Rhode Island Red rooster serenaded the mornings in lively duets with Farm tractors , cowbells , children laughing while rushing to catch the grade school bus
Lively Herefords calling from misty bottoms
Noisy , nosey Geese honking on a cool , clear Autumn
The banter of Bantam hens setting eggs
The aroma of bush- hogged fields , red Barns , Well houses and Tool sheds* ....
