Sit by your window on a snowy winter night
Watch for shadows moving, in a lustrous, brillant moonlight.
Be amused by the shadowed silhouettes
Scrounging for morsels of berries and nuts.
You can see deer walking slowly along the woods edge
Looking for acorns, caught in a stone's wedge.
And while they paw the crusty snow aside
They listen for sounds that mean they must hide.
Every once in a while you may be lucky to see
The shadow of an owl in a tree.
It's awesome to watch on a snow covered night.
The silhouette wings of an owl in flight.
Another silhouette, ah, t'is the hare.
Quickly he hops from here to there.
Hurrying across the diamond glittered ground
He stops to nibble on a sunflower seed he found.
An oppossum smells suet hanging on a tree.
He climbs, get his fill, and waddles away cautiously.
On a table sits a blackbear, eating bread left for the birds.
WInter silhouettes, pleasant entertainment beyond words.
