WONDERS OF THE WINTER FOREST

1. Sunny Squirrel

A squirrel was jumping
From branch to branch.
So easily! So lightly!
No one snowflake fell...

Its gray winter fur
Was a thoughtful letter
From the forest to us...
Its downy tail flitted
Among snowy branches.

But here it stopped
And looked around.
A little nut appeared
In the small paws.
A short crackle.
And something sparkled
Like a far star.
A look around again.

Its fur - bright silver.
Squirrel sparkled,
Turned into a beam
And rushed away
Towards the winter sun...

A minute passed.
And you could see only
A jolly sun-beam
Playing on a snowy branch.
It ran down and turned
Into the squirrel again...

People called it a sunny squirrel.
There are a lot of them
in our forest.

2. Snow bird

The snow-clad forest is calm
Like a spellbound palace...
You go through it
Like through empty halls...
You go and feel...
Somebody's eyes spying on you
Closely...

You turn right and see
Two little intent bead-eyes
Stare at you.
First they are funny

But suddenly you notice
It's a huge white bird!
It spreads its wide snow wings
And all around fills
With snowflakes.
The real blizzard starts!
You can't see anything
Except this snow before you...

When the blizzard becomes quiet
You find yourself
On the edge of the forest.
A neat path winds
On the snow-covered field
Towards your home.

The snow bird dislikes it
When somebody guesses its riddle...
