This poem was written and sent to us by Jacob S., a 2013 PA Brookie. It reflects the trout’s journey home to find a mate. The accompanying photos, also taken by Jacob, show some beautiful winter scenes.
Black capped chickadee huddles near its home to stay warm.
Home
As the sun cascaded from the heavens
The stream softly gurgled
The trees leaned as if they were listening
Birds were singing their sad, sad, song
As the water flowed smoothly over the rocks
A trout, beautiful in design
Swimming upstream
Gracefully cutting
Right through the water
Trying desperately to return
To the nesting grounds
Where his mate lay
To find the place he would stay
-Jacob S.
Gorgeous sunny afternoon in the winter.These are some serious icicles!Sun finally breaks through to send some warmth our way!
