A Young Birder's poetry
My poem reflects the mood of how I imagine a winter wonderland and I have added photographs taken in my village during heavy snow in February 2009. This was one of the few weekends during our "Big Year" that we did not go out birding. I've included photographs of me tobogganing on the hill behind our house - possibly the best place in the country to toboggan.

Winter Wonderland
Walking in a
winter wonderland
In a smooth white-filled
world
Not in the grey
city or the green country but in a white wonderland
Tamed creatures
venture to the garden, desperate for food
Elegant droplets envelope
the branch, the tree, the woods
Red cheeks, red
scarf
Wet boots, frozen
fingers
Out in the cold
is
Nature at its
brightest
Dead branches,
dark branches
Everywhere;
puddles of sludge
Robin’s stark red
breast in the dull, melting snow
Loud calls of children
sledging
A deer silently steps through the woods
Never making a
sound as the
Dancing
snowflakes are falling
