Snowy Animals

The pale white snowflakes flutter down like fairies,
Snow or rock it varies,
The frosty snow ran through my fingers,
As the velvety snow leopard lingers,
Snow leopards almost never travel in pairs,
They are mostly just solitaires,
You’ll never hear them roar,
From the fish-bit jaw,
Snow leopards are almost extinct,
They’ll be gone before you could’ve blinked,
many people are hoping it’s a draw,
but soon humans and leopards will go to war,
I trudged through the cushiony snow under the sun,
As the colourless white hare began to run,
2.5 to 7 kilo,
Finding one is a game of keno,
The speedy animal zooms past me,
As I see the chocolate colour in her eyes,
Changing colours from brown to white,
At least 50 are captured by night,
