A foraging army boldly flew
Into my area of wet green,
Peaking the interest of one
Gray squirrel long and lean,
Who romped about
And in between.
A nature
Convene
Live!
Silent Tree of Winter,
Branches now barren
Except for teardrops
As you await
The new buds of Spring,
Or strands of jewels
Left behind by rain?
Syllabic Verse
That pesky Mr. Squirrel
Will twist, stretch or twirl
To get a bit to eat
Spying the bird feeder’s treat
Towards it he does hurl
Limerick
In the trees, a flash of scarlet
Monoku
They met
Because of hunger
Happenstance led to
Two hungry hearts finding lasting
Friendship
Cinquain
Curiosity
Coupled with a winter hunger
Strange looking bird
Haiku
Lonely, hungry,
Bleak, facing the world alone
Sees a seed of Hope
Haiku
Cooing echoing
In the peaceful garden
Daybreak visitor
Haiku
Cold and Frosty morn
Carpet of white glistens
Dawns the first day of Winter
Haiku
Today is the First day of Winter—brrr
Hearing sweet music,
The whispering wind incites
The ladies in green
To sway to and fro in harmony.
Nature’s graceful dance.
