Wildlife Poems
The Metropark Ranger's Ode
by Kevin Schroeder
Oh, the life of a ranger, a curious mix,
Of wildlife, picnics, and daring quick-fix!
With my badge of honor and sturdy old boots,
I patrol the greens, the trails, and tree roots.
I’m a guardian of nature, protector of trees,
A whisperer of squirrels, and friend to the bees.
When chipmunks cause chaos in someone’s dessert,
I step in to mediate—no one gets hurt.

MEEP MEEP
by Kevin Schroeder
MEEP MEEP
In the dark where shadows creep,
The woodcocks call with a peep
Meep Meep
Seductively doing their dance,
That puts you in a trance,

Tiger Tale
by Lisa Cooper
Sleek and wily battle scars
Amber, ebon covert bars
Clever gold in depths of eyes
Patiently pursue tasty prize
Prince midst nature’s law
Deadly talons supple paw
Huntsman of forest floor
Precocious keenly score

84. Life Untouched
by Kea Campbell
Flowers blossom, blooming allergies.
Every eye, sightly blessed.
Spring!— attacks my immunity and I whiff defeat.
Nonetheless, a treat by scent.
Even us alone, the wind knows no hush.
Whispering through evergreens.
Articulating each leaf.
Talking to the river, who gossips downstream.

Strange Days
by Evelyn Judy Buehler
Gilded days, before the sudden rain,
Hot, green fields of sweet sugarcane,
Tree melodies that naught can contain,
A meadow of the moonlit firefly reign!
Oppresive heat in languid, summer rooms,
And outside the windows, breezy blooms;
Myriad azure days of their dreamy perfume,
Make for the fragrant nights-an heirloom!
