*Balloonp*Hi Harry. I was lookign for earth day themes and found this one! The title was intriguing and then I read the tag line! What a timely theme and rather sad to contemplate. *Thumbsup*

I so liked how you introduced the theme---becoming aware of out side noises of summer by having the house repaired. The idea that the poet is enthralled gives me the idea that hearing this was extraordinary---so long has he been closed up. You really made a potent point! *Thumbsup*
I really felt the nostalgic tone as that lead to past memories as the images and sounds of summer make you recall. We are so used to technology--esp the air conditioning! Your query is a good one. The comparison to then and now is vivid and I so like the porch scene.

The poem flows coherently with balanced verses and rhyme scheme. I like the repetition of the "s"sounds and the idea of sterilized sound is brilliant! *Smile*

I did have to read the third verse again as I got lost in it length to make it a question. A few commas might help with coherence the first time around maybe.

Thanks for sharing this reflective vision which did give me pause to think what might be missed. I dislike when the motor of neighbours air conditioners disrupt my quiet and tuning in to nature. *Wink*

Light on the path as you write on!
