The Changing Forest

The forest changes in the seasons 

But remains a magical place

In autumn a crimson blanket covers the forest floor

With animals getting ready for hibernation

The leaves twist, twirl and turn onto the ground

As the gentle breeze blows through this creation

Winter arrives with its icy breath

Snowflakes fall gracefully onto the exposed trees

The wind howls like a wolf

Most animals underground so they don’t freeze

Spring comes along with blooming flowers 

As a choir of joyful birds and crickets sing

Lush trees reaching for the clouds

A kaleidoscope of vibrant colours growing

The heat declares summer is coming

But the strong trees sense danger is near

The animals escape as fast as they can

Everyone feels fear because fire is here

The forest changes in the seasons

But it will always remain a magical place
