Spring Will Soon Arrive

I know you will think of cunningness, as I am a fox.
Yet, I too suffer winter just like bats, cranes, or hawks;
I grow a thicker fur coat and creep into warm places,
I twist and push myself in my tail, and pass cold phases...! 

My coat has been growing long and dense and heavy, and hard,
My walking and sleeping have turned as though on cold cloud yard;
My previously slim physique has, now, grown fat and dull, 
Has my color mixed with snow and looks like that of a gull...?

My hunting has turned tough task, as I find it hard to roam,
As my border is set, no mice or mares approach my home;
I know, yet, all these are like a nomad's tent, tentative, 
Your arrival soon, O spring, will be, sure, sustentative...!!!

The survival of even a fox is so hard during winter. But the fox has some inherent mechanism in its body to thrive in hostile climate. Thus we find that adaptability to adverse situations is perhaps more in beasts than in humans. The fox is hopefully waiting for the arrival of spring. A great entry for the contest. All the Best dear Chris
