Trees and Leaves

The leaves carpet the ground.
Now that leaves are falling,
The trees are looking as magnificent as ever.
Because there are leaves on the shining water,
I wondered to myself is there water there?

Animals

As foxes eat pigeons,
Badgers work on their setts.
As muntjac deer walk,
They leave their rounded rectangular footprints.
