A cookie cutter
(for Play-Doh-turned-gray)
dropped by
still-small fingers
onto the tile floor
SkcchSkcchSkcch
Toenails (grown too long)
on the persistent dog
at the back door
ready to exchange prowling
for air conditioning
TickaTickaTicka
A toy being used
as a spoon in a plastic bowl
stirring imaginary food
stirring a toddler's
growing mind
And
Bang and
Clonk and
Hhhh and
Eeee! and
Aaah... and
Crinkle and
Tap and
Jing!
Children seen.
Children heard.
(Dog too.)
Happy home.

Cute poem!

Really neat idea..."Listening to a house"...when I saw this on my dashboard I had to see what it was about. I often post pictures of old houses and these are the words I have been searching for...(I won't use them of course) but the idea really is fascinating to think about! Great post.
