WHAT TO DO?

WHAT TO DO?

Life can be boring.
Ho hum
What to do?
Climb a tree.
Roll in the grass.
Take a nap.
I know.
I’ll go hunting.
I forgot.
I don’t have to.
I’m in a zoo.
Ho hum.
I’ll take a nap.

WINTER COLD

I feel so cold.
Ice is forming on my arms.
I see fewer animals and birds.
What is happening to me?
Why are my leaves drying up?
Ouch.
A cold wind just hit me in the face.
I wish I could hide.
But I’m stuck in place.
Waiting.
And waiting.
I think I fell asleep.
For the sun is out.
My ice is melting.
The breeze is now warmer.
It’s brushing the snow
off my cold arms.
My arms feel less heavy.
Soon it will be spring.
Time for celebration.
I can’t wait to see my
green leaves again.
Birds will return to
sit on my arms.
They will build their nests.
And life will be good.
Only a few short months left.
I will take another snooze.
See you in the spring.

SHOULD I?

Should I?
Or shouldn’t I?
Too many decisions
for a bear.
The weather is turning colder.
Snow is beginning to fall.
Humans are retreating
to their warm homes.
I guess it’s time for me.
Goodbye world.
Goodbye snow.
Time for a long nap.
See you in the spring.

WELCOME SNOW

Snow is coming back.
We should prepare ourselves
And welcome it back.

HIBERNATE AWAY THE WINTER

Brown Bear Napping, Alaska by Joel Sartore

That is exactly how I feel in the winter.
I want to go to sleep until it’s over.
I’d wake up and spring is here.
