autumn

deer rustling

dead leaves piled

a brush of sticks

dens being prepared for winter lodging

cold winds signal time for assembling

skin and fur fluffed

fawns steadied

first frosts

autumn

This is a great poem, Cheryl. Which of the 24 forms did you use? I liked how you concentrated on the animals preparing for the winter.
