POETRY

POEM 1

Bothering my toes.
And my nose,
Which is in deep freeze.
Snuggled under a warm quilt,
Just cannot stay up late,
Crackle of a fire at night,
With hot water bottle clutched to my side.
And I have to get up again
And go out in the cold tomorrow morning…….
I…feel…so sleepy….
How wonderful…. If I could….. also…..
Hibernate!

POEM 2


Trees are the kindest things I know,
They do no harm, they simply grow
And spread a shade for sleepy cows,
And gather birds among the boughs.
They are the first when the day’s begun
To touch the beams of morning sun,
They are the last to hold the light
When evening changes into night.
And when the moon floats on the sky
They hum a drowsy* lullaby
Of sleepy children long ago…
Trees are the kindest things I know.

However, I gained a little courage and went with much dread to make sure that the footprint was not mine. I measured my foot against it. Mine was not nearly so large. A stranger, maybe a savage, must have been on shore, and fear again filled my heart. I determined now to make my house more secure than ever. I built another wall around it, in which I fixed six guns, so that, if need be, I could fire six in two minutes. Then I planted young trees all around. I feared my goats might be hurt or stolen from me, so I fenced round several plots of ground, as much out of sight as possible, and put some goats in each plot.
