February




February days filled
with sleet and snow
make it hard for
deer to forage, and
birds take to flight;
Winter laden trees
sway with the wind
while providing shelter
from the cold
for wooded wildlife

  1. What if the trees didn't provide shelter? I share a limerick laden with sadness:

    An Idaho bird getting thinner
    Forgot to fly south for the winter.
    She couldn't find rest
    In her icy cold nest.
    For you see she was just a beginner.

    :-) or should it be :-(
