Winter Wildlife. Poem by David Boyce

Winter wildlife.

The autumnal colours,
Now changing on the leaves and trees,
As temperatures start to drop again,
A lot more degrees.

Animals and birds collecting the berries,
For the winter drive,
They need to pile up some food,
To help them all to survive.

Squirrels collecting lots of nuts,
From the trees which start to sway,
Hiding them to safe pockets really well,
To see them through each day by day.

The wildlife hunt all around,
For lots of food and bedding stuff,
Many start very early autumn,
So they will definitely have enough.

They try and teach their young,
To hunt for what they will need,
And those nuts and fruit left behind each year,
Will start to regrow as new seeds.
