Watching hard as he starts to nod,
Guarding realms from his cozy pod.
From the window, though half asleep,
Dreams of chases, deep in sleep.
Minutes crawl; he snores so low,
Eyes shut tight, misses the show.
Scattering dust, turkeys trot,
Chipmunks chatter within earshot.
Mourning doves coo, high on their perch,
Basking in the glow of nature’s church.
Windows rattle with a clink,
Eyes flick wide, he doesn't blink.
Scans the lawn, sees nothing, then
Shuts his eyes once again.
All is quiet, just as before,
Sighs and snoozes, starts to snore.

A to Z with the Grateful Dead
Welcome to a lyrical journey where the world of the Grateful Dead unfolds through my abecedarian style verse. Each line resonates with the spirit of a classic Dead tune. To enrich the experience, I've paired these lines with videos of the songs that inspired them, creating a multi-sensory exploration of rhythm and words – if you care to further explore the music.
