Sense Sonnet - Pumper

Farewell 2017 - LP Zoo

Almost over, another year.
A lot of years have come and gone
At Lincoln Park Zoo I hold dear,
A wonderful home for this swan.
I love the seasons, one and all.
This year so far I've enjoyed three.
I've sensed spring and summer and fall,
And now I sense the winter be.
The snow has fallen to the ground.
There is a glowing icy chill
Enveloping my pond around.
There's serenity in the still.

Two thousand seventeen, so long.
Out with the old with my swan song.
