Original Poetry
By Joan Cripps

Chickadee

Grey coat and black cap
Dressed for all weather
Snow, rain or shine.
Singing your song,
As you fly along.

Moose Bird

You are a friendly chap
With your brown grey coat and cap.
You walk by my side,
As I sit in my chair.
Go about your business
As if I'm not there.
Friendly did I say
You are your own self
You have your own way.

Porcupine

You waddle across my lawn today.
I hope you are not here to stay.
You destroy all the trees,
As you eat and play.
