Poem

I, Squirrel, now await the coming Spring;
as the ground thaws, my hunt for nuts begins.
To life's sweet treasures, happily, I cling;
from Spring, through Summer, Fall- survival wins.

Now, Winter's cold- the ground is frozen tight;
those nuts I buried- nowhere to be found.
So hard to shelter from the wind at night;
inside a hollow tree trunk, I stay bound.

I know Spring's coming- feel it getting close;
the days- becoming longer, slow but sure.
But, I dismiss the cons and choose my pros;
for now, to feed my hunger- there's a cure.

I found a see-thru house where birds can feed
and figured out a plan- help me survive.
It's suctioned to a window, but with speed,
I jump up high, then crawl within- and thrive! 

They watch me by the window from inside
Somehow, I know that I am safe and spared.
I think they smile since I am long and wide-
yet, squeeze inside the feeder, unimpaired!  

I know Spring's coming- feel it in the air 
Winter is not forever- it will pass.
For now, I take my pros and say a prayer;
rebirth of Spring will bring me greener grass.
