  5. NoisesBy Danielle Caryl The click of the clock, the creak of the stair,The squeak of a mouse and the swoosh of the air.The groan of the house as it settles below,And outside the window, the patter of snow.The scruff of the dog’s paws below where I rest,The rattle of the window that seems to face West.The jingle of bells from a wind chime next doorThe unearthly sounds of a truly loud snore.The crunching of snow under an animal’s feet,The honk of a horn from right down the street.So many noises I just want to weep,Is it too much to ask for some sleep?
