Short Audubon Poems

Our grandson wanted us to see
The Audubon Preserve,
With meadows, trails and trees
That birds and humans all deserve.

His dad and sister joined us
And we took a lovely hike,
The shady paths and birdsong
Hard for someone not to like.

We spotted dragonflies and frogs,
A turtle on a rock
And lots of birds on branches,
Just the perfect place to flock.

We loved to be a part of
Such a pleasant afternoon
And hope to check out other trails,
All happy, very soon....

Winter my favored companion at home,
I wait for the sun to rise in the morning,
Precious moments where I sip my cup of tea,
My delicous breakfast awaits.

The breakfast of eggs and toast and potatoes,
My day begins and continues,
A  progressive day of learning,
My day with favorite companions.

I wait anxiously for spring to arrive,
The sound of the John Audubon Society,
Warm sunlight that melts the snow,
A step towards the welcoming of spring.
