A little deer standing by the roadside
looking back and forth, to and fro
wondering if it should run and hide
and which way it should go
A long neck crane standing in the creek
an awesome sight to see
attempting to grab food, it takes a peek
then flies away with it's large, majestic wings
A large hawk sitting in a tree
looking around for its prey
whatever that may become or be
it'll never have a chance to get away
A strange flock of birds fly in
from some place faraway and unknown
on nature's food they do depend
they're here for a time and then they're gone
A little rabbit sits in the clover
everyday it sits in the same spot
late in the evening when the day is over
I can tell by the clover it never eats alot
A large raccoon visits from time to time
searching for something to eat
up the creek bank he does climb
grabs what he can and runs back to his retreat
A hoot owl makes his presence known
in my yard each and every night
he'll hoot until the break of dawn
and then return again the very next night
The squirrels are never a stranger and always there
running this way and that
hoping the birds will kindly share
each day they grow more big and fat
These wondrous sights my eyes do behold
takes my breath away and fills my heart with pride
to know that nature can be so bold
in a place where I live and abide

ReplyDeleteI love your verses and photos. I really enjoy the bird's songs in the early morning and now I have a robin's nest on my window ledge with one blue egg. Thanks for sharing this beautiful post.
ReplyDeleteSweet poem about the animals you encounter in nature. It's always nice to come across the path of these creatures.
ReplyDeleteI especially liked your post today, Susie, because I love nature so much. And the poem was sweet about all the critters that bring us joy. The deer is such a precious animal, and I haven't seen one in a long time. And the squirrels are such funny fellows to watch.
ReplyDeleteI hope you are feeling better and enjoying these Spring days.
