Spike

Spike is my name as I stretch and yawn on this beautiful sunny morn
Poking my nose through leaves and debris I sniff the sweet Spring air
Inside my den I hibernate through winter’s cold away from harm
Kaleidoscopes of colour and warmth permeate my prickly skin
Enough of sleep I need to eat ~  hear my tum rumble as out I tumble

Caren Krutsinger Date: 3/30/2019 10:15:00 PM I am enjoying your hedgehog poem so much! I had a boss who gave me a stuffed hedgehog for Counselor's Week, and told me how much she appreciated me. I have given away many stuffed animals, but not this one. This is a happy, uplifting, fun-filled poem, Ann! Login to Reply Ann Gilmour Date: 3/31/2019 2:27:00 AM Many thanks Caren, so glad you liked it, I really enjoyed writing it! Hedgehogs are such adorable little creatures and it was fun to become one, if only in my poem... Kindest thoughts Ann xx
