curtsied up and down. She turned to the sunlight And shook her yellow head‚ And whispered to her neighbour: "Winter is dead." by A.A. Milne Tractor The tractor rests In the shed Dead or asleep‚ But with high Hind wheels Held so still We know It is only waiting‚ Ready to leap – Like a heavy Brown Grasshopper. by Valerie Worth Fog The fog comes on little cat feet. It sits looking over harbour and city on silent haunches and then moves on. by Carl Sandburg (1878-1967)
