Short and sweet describes this poem, but Philip has managed to paint a picture with those few words.
Farm Sounds
The lowing of cattle, the bleat of a lamb,
The chugging of pumps by the side of a dam,
The clank of the baler, the wind in the trees,
The creak of the windmill, the buzzing of bees,
The throb of the tractor, the barking of dogs,
The roar of the chainsaw, the croaking of frogs,
The call of the plover, the clucking of hens,
The crying of ravens, the chatter of wrens,
The crack of the welder, the cockatoos screams,
The rhythmical swishing of milking machines,
Wherever I wander, wherever I roam,
Any one of these noises reminds me of home.
