One morning as the sun

came up

over mountains cool

and green

a tiny chipmunk named

Cheroot

climbed from a hole,

unseen.

In search of berries, grain, or seed,

Cheroot began his day.

He scurried down a woodland path

passing friends along the way.

He saw a buck and doe

beside a pool of glacial waters.

They grazed on grass and leaves and such

and sweetly scented aster.

A beaver swimming in the creek

carried wood to build a dam.

A nanny scaled rocky peaks

and stopped beside a ram.
