Winter Exhales
Swans - thrump-thrumping
practice take offs and landings
Geese honk
file flight plans
Muskrats build
mud and stick domes
Beaver maintenance crews
make ready
frogs retreat
while the mud is soft
Osprey screech
above naked woods
A doe follows
a scented path
Turtles secure
their mobile homes
A woodpecker
sends Morse code alerts
The ice shell
creeps
Winter exhales
across the pond
