    Default A Day In Winter

    Here is a winter poem as we don't seam to be having much in the way of summer.

    A Day In Winter

    Winter is here and my garden
    Is covered in fine white snow
    I can tell who’s been here
    The evidence is clear
    Little footprints are left as they go.

    The trees are heavily laden
    Looking dapper all covered in white
    Busy squirrels all day
    Gathering twigs for the dray
    To keep warm when chilly at night

    Five minutes from my house is a woodland
    Full of wildlife and wondrous views
    Whilst woodpeckers are drilling
    The woodland is filling
    With the birds and their busy ensues

    At dusk I look into the garden
    Activities are still going on
    Owls looking for prey
    As water voles play
    Round my pond when the daylight has gone

    As I sleep in my warm bed and dream
    Little creatures by daylight not seen
    All come out to forage
    For insects and borage
    Until dawn of the cycle’s new scene.

    Wonderful poems Chocky, as is all of your poetry. I am rapidly losing count of how many times I have read your Granny poems.

    Well done, Beryl! I like that!

    I took this pic yesterday as I was thinking about footprints in the snow as well, but I coudln't put it as well as you have!

    (If you look at those prints, some birds walk, others hop, and some have tiny feet which make a sort of railway track like the one near the top right. Our Bank Voles visit the tub at the top RHS corner, but I don't think they ventured out on the snow. Most footprints are those of Blackbirds and Wood Pigeons I suppose!)

    I must try to get a better pic if it snows again!
