Sounds of Autumn

Beneath the garden wood pile I hear sounds of excavation As a hedgehog starts preparing for his autumn hibernation My tortoise getting drowsy ready for his autumn sleep Is tunnelling beneath the debris of the garden rubbish heap Squirrels burying nuts and acorns, planning for the months ahead Know exactly where to find them when requiring to be fed Red berries bright and glistening on my Holly Bush so prickly An autumn treat for birds, as they scoff them oh so quickly I would really love to hibernate from autumn through to spring I could snore through all the snow and ice and wake up really thin Vermillion Autumn Couplets Sponsor: Vermillion Scythe Contest:APRIL 2019 PREMIER 4,ANY FORM ,ANY THEME ,UPTO A MAX OF 10( T E N) Lines Sponsor: Brian Strand H.M. in Premier Contest
