I Want to Hear a Poem

The city noises clang
in my ears leaving me wanting
for the babble of a brook
the whisper of leaves
In a srpingtime breeze
The sound of medowlarks
The poetry of soft lowing cows
I want to hear the Sonnet of the Earth
from start to finish
The laughter of your heart
as we taste the evening air
The morning stanza as the sun bursts forth
No more car horn haiku
Give me wolf song ballads
I want to hear a Poem
spoken by the day
