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 Written 26th September 2021 Contest Autumn Acrostic Poetry Sponsor Caren Krutsinger

Thank you so much Brian ~ such a pity you no longer have hedgehogs in your garden as they are delightful creatures, if a little prickly... with kindest thoughts Ann xx
