The Birds on A Cold Night

Cold night
The little birds huddle up close.
The birds, fluffy as a kitten.
Trying to keep warm,
the birds snuggle up on a branch.
The branch is small but no bird will fall,
Still trying to keep warm.

The Star Tree

A cold night
Tons of stars
Crisp, white snow
The tree is very cold
like an iceberg
The tree is wishing
for warmth in summer.


The tree is warm.
It has a golden shell
It glimmers like the sun
It has green leaves, perfect and crisp.
Birds flutter by as a snapping turtle
crawls out of its hole to lay its eggs.
