Analysis of No The's
Pamela Loykowski-Durkee 1959 (British Columbia)
pitter patter of little feet
from their perches birds do cheep
A sliver of cloud comes sliding by
light blue colour of morning sky
trees still green from early fall rain
hint of yellow from birch tree train
coming of fall and winter too
tell tales signs in morning dew
far off dogs' welcome morning light
murder of crows takes to flight
