Ann Gilmour Poet Acrostic

Ubiquitous Hedgehogs Hibernate

Around us all doth changeth as Autumn slowly tiptoes in
Unbeknown exactly were the squirrels hide their winter nuts
To eat when there is nothing, on winter’s coldest days ahead
Ubiquitous hedgehogs hibernate for winter’s longest sleep 
My mind not looking forward to dark and dismal nights ahead
Now Halloween, I'm dressed in weirdest clothes I’ve ever seen
As slowly trees will lose their leaves standing proud and tall 
Like skeletons, stand in rain or wind as snowflakes start to fall
