Cooing white wing doves
singing of cicadas
deep voiced croaking of bullfrogs
tapping of woodpeckers

The clicking of beetles
the chirping of crickets
the tapping of booklice
natures sounds as I sit quiet

Humming birds acrobatically fly by
the green shine of emerald ash borer
the orange fiddle of the black widow
red fuzz of the velvet mite

Barn owls begin to hoot
the calling of the scaled quail
scurrying ground squirrels
dart from hole to hole

Tranquility as afternoon ends
sitting still and silent
enjoying natures show
undisturbed
