Nature’s inspiration in Winter
By Lisa Noe

A doe drinks gently by the river
As snowflakes flutter to the ground
Watch as it looks and listens for the faintest sound.

A bunny sticks it’s nose out of a hole in the ground
It’s little nose is twitching as it’s eyes are big and round
The raccoon shows no fear of cold as he will never shiver

The morning dove coo’s softly as it’s wings flip and flop
The dog howls loudly as it waits outside of the shop
The ice cycles melt and hit the ground thudding with a loud sound

To try to keep them warm, tiny kitty cat lays a top her kittens
The hawk watches while from the tree he’s sitting
I know its through the fields the toad frog will hop.
