Crows cawing at break of dawn

 

Crows cawing at break of dawn

Mourning doves singing the blues

The evening chill releases bounty

Rolling away the dew

On spring's velvet daybreak morning

On a calm lake awakened from winter 

Chilly fog smears the forest surrounding

Like atomized cream in a whoopee pie 

Hugs the kayaker's blown smoke

Drifting inches under the shady shore

A tiny tug on the bobber startles

Fish catching bug dropping

Lured on a hook

Is biting
