Flying south before autumn's color dies, flocks of geese split the air with honking cries. And snow clouds dapple winter's ice-blue skies as winds kiss the trees with audible sighs. Dawn's first light ignites a sanguine sunrise, but gone are the songbirds and butterflies. And yet, some creatures learn to improvise storing up food or fat, they winterize. Hibernating bears must bulk up their size, not gorging in the fall would be unwise. A poor diet could lead to their demise, should the need to surface early arise. Inclement weather patterns brutalize, for nature doesn't react well to surprise. Facing starvation and all it implies, some species adapt and cannibalize.

Emile, your Ice Blue Skies is a poetic "Marty Stouffer's Wild America" in unforced monorhyme. I love "as winds kiss the trees with audible sighs." And so true your last stanza, "Inclement weather patterns brutalize, ~ for nature doesn't react well to surprise." We certainly are experiencing that right now. Congratulations on your win on Mile 23 of my 2022 Poetry Marathon Contest. Keep your running shoes on because Mile 24 has already started.
