Who goes there? for M'lady Cherry Berry

Sonnet

Who goes there?

By the rosy light of dawn.
A squirrel chatters noisily
as if his duty is to warn.
a task which takes seriously
He warns them all that draw near.
Although in fact I mean no harm
Wild creatures swiftly disappear
in response to his shrill alarm.
They can't afford to take the chance
so they react instinctively
The price of life is vigilance
and that is why I seldom see
Wild creatures who quite naturally
conceal themselves and hide from me.

I just saw this piece. Well penned. You are very talented. Wild creatures do tend to hide away, but only for their own safety.
A brilliant piece with beautiful imagery. Well done.
