Wildlife, Edmonton
A poem written for my beautiful Northern City
Wildlife, Edmonton
the flutter of wings brilliant shiny black and white
the graceful hopping in fields through the cool snowy night
an ambitious brown furry trickster racing up and across trees
all somehow staying outside in the cool winter breeze
magpies and rabbits, quick moving squirrels, finches too
Edmonton no wanderlust could take me from you
my heart will be here, even if far away
we have so much life here even on frozen days
but that doesn’t mean my heart will not sing
when the magical phrase is said, “oh here is Spring!”
