sonnet 13
1/13/13

a valley of darkness shadows and light

hosts a mirage of birds and animals

some of the variety take flight

to bring to themselves a mate by call

trees surround a mountain fed by a stream

snow tumbles-rumbles into a white sphere

as pierced noises forgive with a loud scream

out from the snow a bright eye peeks and peers

cheerful animals bit, nip as they play

others run, leap as they follow the hunt

in this kingdom life carries every day

the smash of a tree is ever-so blunt

the circle of life is so grand

except when comes involved the man
