 A Fall Caribou Hunt with Dad

By Avery Mozen

Lakes and hills of the tundra

Where the wind winds around ya

The ground is made of still fire

The purple bushes rise higher

The blueberries of cold flame

The cranberries of hot color

Swans up-high graceful in flight

Not a caribou in sight

I decide to climb a hill

Now up high we see our fill

This is were beauty stands still

As we sit there watching

The American Plains by
Owen Mozen

The American Plains 

where the buffalo roam,

 the American plains
that the Crow call home. 

The American Plains 

where the gold grass grows, 

where the white wolf howls

 and the raven crows. 

Where the prairie dogs chatter,

 and the antelope race. 

Where the grizzly fights
to keep his space. 

Where the fox pounces
on a furry vole,
before it can get
to its sacred hole.
And may these things

 happen for ever more,

 and frolic by the river shore.
