Better Prepare
_____________________________________
Red and golden leaves clatter to the ground
There’s a crisp clear freshness in the air
Acorns and black walnuts drop all around
Winter is coming! We have to prepare!
*
Gray squirrels sprint without a minute to spare
Tan sycamore fluff falls without sound
Migrating birds have stripped fruiting plants bare
How quickly the seasons change does astound
*
Winter food buried in earthen mounds
Tree nuts planted in every open square
Wildlife shows us sustenance abounds
Winter is coming! We have to prepare!
