Overcoming Winter Rigour! Poem by Ramesh T A

Army of ants works through out Spring, Summer and Autumn
In collecting food items for storing them in the den long
So as to feed themselves through out Winter inside it...!

So also in ice cold regions of the Earth, grizzly bears
And white bears feed themselves with salmon fish climbing
Hill for depositing eggs to breed new fledglings long sure!

These bears have winter hibernation to overcome Winter cold
Climate in icy regions till spring season begins and this
Is a routine going on every year to protect themselves sure!

Even for humans, this holds good in winter time all over the
World, when human movements outside is impossible due to mist
Fog and storms wrecking havoc in undecipherable proportion!

Naturally, Winter season is the time for story telling by
Elders to youngsters to pastime for forgetting winter rigour!
