     Portraits of hedgehogs on his grimy tiled walls
        Pete did for good taste what heat does for snow balls

They often dine out at their local garden food hubs.

...The leaves
From the trees
They fell
It was that time of year

Premium MemberThe Skin They're In

...Who says that the beasts can’t have valentines
Each of them loves in fur, feathers or spines
Positions may vary
But “the missionary”
Is surely for hedgehogs and porcupines...

These people they are not worth much

...A murder of crows
A crowd of pigeons
A mob of mealworms
Hedgehogs? A smidgen

A swarm of swans
A drove of ducks
A throng of turkeys
This horde is full of un-lucks...

The Dance of Jacomo Frostus

...Twas the end of year when nights grow dark 

And stars twinkle in midnight sky. 

The earth was asleep and trees leaflessly slumbered, 

Under the hedges sheltered small creatures and birds

One Shoe

...Winter has left one empty shoe
upon the doorstep.
Around that footless mouth
tulips grow
despite the muscular winds
and a thin sunshine.

The crisscrossing of the seasons

Because it is terrifying their children
Badger takes the helm; he stirs them up
Rabbits and hedgehogs are slow to get hot
Squirrel is hopping around like ...

Digging For Dandelions

to a home you no longer need.
Like the soft snuffle of hedgehogs on the lawn
on a summer evening.
Here there are larger less harmless spiny beasts,
