The Naturalist

Grinning grasshoppers gallop gracefully
The tree trunk produced treat-sweet treacle
Wind-waved willows and wrens in the wicked woods
Green grass glows and grinds underfoot
Falcon falls from the freezing frost
Winter whispers words in a watery tone
Sea seeping into the sand, sun sinking into my skin
Beach balls bouncing onto brown barnacles
Scampering squirrel shelters safely from the scenic snow
Magnificent mountains move magical molehills
Dazzling daffodils and drifting daisies
Nice nature, the Naturalist's favourite.
