I'll be exercising my writing and rhyming muscles this winter with holiday poems. Here's my first one...and I hope there will indeed be a #2, etc. If anyone reads this and likes it, send me an encouraging word, so I'll be motivated to make more.
| Christmas with the Wolverine Hike an alpine hill, remote, past the fox and mountain goat. Seek a creature most elusive-- solitary, lone, reclusive. Here’s a paw print in the snow and… a sprig of mistletoe. There! Beneath an evergreen… the shy but feisty Wolverine! Careful. Don’t approach too fast nature sightings only last if you move with grace and care and watch your subject, unaware. First observe the creature, fierce, raise a razor claw to pierce berries on a silken line and string them on the winter pine. In its native habitat see it… knit a Santa hat, brew a pot of herbal tea, hang an ice-star on the tree. Now, beneath a rising moon it growls… a jingle-bell-ish tune. The strangest nature sight we’ve seen is Christmas with the Wolverine. |    |
