Living in the country
I don't miss the city's sounds of
traffic
neighbors arguing
loud late-night music
sirens
children whining
honking horns
babies crying-- loudly
lawn mowers
On the other hand,
I like country sounds of
frogs croaking
whippoorwills calling
dogs baying and barking
the sights and sounds of deer jumping fences
and crashing through high weeds
the distant calls of coyotes
the smells of skunk, manure and newly mown grass
and even the "welcome home"
greetings of moths
at the back door light.
I think I'll stay a bit
longer.
