The Inkwell

With a change from Summer to Autumn

The trees that aren’t conifers are sending out a vital message

“Winters on its way!” – They say

as the forest lights switch from green to red

signalling to those creatures, that wait

that perhaps it’s time to hibernate

so forest creatures , big or small

prepare for mother natures call –

when Mercury retreats and the leaves make way

and the little Humans in the snow they play
