Animal Winter

The spider dances a web all night, in the corner of a quiet house
Gophers are borrowing their earthen beds
Deer in the mountains are stripping the trees
Bats are silently hunting
Little birds cuddle up in their nest
Bears are deeply sleeping
Squirrels are eating their nut supply
Fish swim circles under the ice
All in an animal winter
