Winter (1987)

A biting cold wind sings through branches stripped bare. Footsteps in the snow lead nowhere. A full, white moon watches over the sleeping world.

Fall in the Forest (1977)

Summer slides into fall Trees lose their leaves Squirrels scamper along the branches looking for nuts The badger scurries to his sett A frog sitting on a lily pad croaks A busy kingfisher flies by looking for food A mouse tired after hunting all night snuggles down in its nest High above the trees mourning …
