• 00:39 - 00:42

  This one, it's about a mountain lion.

• 00:43 - 00:47

  Mountain lion Growl rumbles in my throat.

• 00:48 - 00:50

  All I've eaten is a baby goat.

• 00:51 - 00:52

  I crouch and 10.

• 00:53 - 00:55

  My jaw is at the ready to catch this prey.

• 00:56 - 01:00

  I've got to be studied, lift a paw one step

• 01:00 - 01:02

  at a time to catch this brain.

• 01:03 - 01:04

  My timing's gotta be prime.

• 01:06 - 01:06

  One more step.

• 01:07 - 01:10

  The leaves underfoot crunch and crumble.

• 01:11 - 01:14

  My attention wavers and I stumble, the deer's ears Prezi

• 01:15 - 01:17

  It launches off with a desperate pick.

• 01:17 - 01:19

  I explode from my hiding place.

• 01:20 - 01:22

  My speaking as I cut, it switches to a mind

• 01:23 - 01:27

  blowing rate sadly the deer sets the pace, not want

• 01:27 - 01:27

  to give up.

• 01:28 - 01:31

  I cracked, and I search, the pray that I seek,

• 01:32 - 01:34

  makes my hungry stomach lurch.

• 01:35 - 01:40

  Bighorn sheep fearsome and horn to twisted death traps with

• 01:40 - 01:41

  which their heads are adorned.

• 01:42 - 01:43

  A full spirit of speed!

• 01:44 - 01:45

  I'm nearly there goodness!

• 01:46 - 01:46

  Those sheep are everywhere.

• 01:47 - 01:48

  I weave into dodge.

• 01:49 - 01:53

  I unsheath my death dealer claws outstretched, my paws and

• 01:53 - 01:53

  unhinge my jaws.

• 01:54 - 01:57

  I bring it down with a satisfying crunch, Whoa!

• 01:58 - 01:59

  Time for lunch!

• 02:05 - 02:10

  This one is about a great horned owl, great horned

• 02:11 - 02:14

  owl! My deadly talents flash!

• 02:15 - 02:20

  They caused many a gash I can kill with one

• 02:20 - 02:24

  slash. My attacks sting like a lash.

• 02:25 - 02:27

  I'm the bigger scowl around.

• 02:28 - 02:32

  I make a hush, screaming sound, Smoke down low!

• 02:32 - 02:37

  and my Prezi been found my deadly talents skin the

• 02:37 - 02:41

  ground at sleep all day and hunt all night when

• 02:42 - 02:45

  the moon gleams, I take flight relentlessly.

• 02:46 - 02:51

  Driving road ist to their most feared flight and the

• 02:51 - 02:55

  great horned owl, though I neither snarl nor gravel, I'm

• 02:56 - 02:57

  still a killer at heart.

• 02:58 - 03:02

  I speeding through the sky silently like a dart and

• 03:03 - 03:06

  from the killer's code I shall never be.

• 03:07 - 03:16

  Mhm. This one is about a black baby, black Phoebe.

• 03:17 - 03:21

  I zigzag from perch to perch all day long, listening

• 03:21 - 03:22

  to the blue bird song.

• 03:23 - 03:24

  I stand the air.

• 03:24 - 03:25

  I look everywhere.

• 03:25 - 03:27

  I spot a fly and make it die.

• 03:28 - 03:31

  I fly back to my original lowest perch, efficiently continuing

• 03:32 - 03:33

  my sporadic search.

• 03:35 - 03:37

  I blocked on the top and right on the tubby.

• 03:37 - 03:39

  Some people think I'm rather funny.

• 03:40 - 03:42

  I'm the black Phoebe and black as night.

• 03:42 - 03:50

  Just don't forget my stomachs white and this is a

• 03:50 - 03:52

  plant called sage brush.

• 03:53 - 03:53

  Sage brush.

• 03:55 - 04:00

  My lovely scent perfumes the breeze flowing swirling through the

• 04:00 - 04:06

  trees. I'm often known as cowboy cologne, cute, inconspicuous flowers.

• 04:07 - 04:10

  I claim as my own I can stop the bleeding

• 04:10 - 04:12

  if you cheer me and spit me on a wound,

• 04:13 - 04:16

  I will disinfect and make it stop real soon.

• 04:17 - 04:19

  I am a natural repellent flies.

• 04:19 - 04:22

  Believe me, I'm not telling lies.

• 04:23 - 04:25

  I grow beside black sage and buckwheat.

• 04:26 - 04:29

  I taste pretty far away from sweet the winter.

• 04:30 - 04:32

  My small, drought tolerant leaves turned lush.

• 04:33 - 04:37

  I'm the lovely smelling, bitter tasting sage brush.

• 04:41 - 04:45

  This is a sycamore tree, sycamore.

• 04:47 - 04:48

  My leaves are fury.

• 04:49 - 04:50

  They fall in a flurry.

• 04:51 - 04:54

  My spotted burke is as white as dusty smell.

• 04:55 - 04:58

  My branches get high and they get well and I

• 04:58 - 04:58

  write period ecosystem.

• 04:59 - 05:03

  I like to go wildfires hollow out my inside.

• 05:04 - 05:07

  I become a perfect place for animals to hide woodpeckers

• 05:08 - 05:10

  and my soft bark drill away.

• 05:11 - 05:14

  I will stand there maniac all picking all day.

• 05:14 - 05:16

  My five pointed leaves are covered in.

• 05:17 - 05:20

  But the woodpecker pecks, that's about all it does.

• 05:21 - 05:24

  It shoves a a commitment to me, which makes me

• 05:24 - 05:24

  a granary.

• 05:25 - 05:29

  I'm a pantry thought makes me a seating tree hummingbirds

• 05:30 - 05:32

  use my fast to London s.

• 05:32 - 05:34

  I think they're unbearable pets.

• 05:37 - 05:40

  Uh, I thought I was exasperated sycamore.

• 05:41 - 05:44

  I never get a peaceful moment to snore.

• 05:46 - 05:51

  I hope you enjoyed those poems and and out suitable.

• 05:51 - 05:54

  I would like to explain just a little bit about

• 05:54 - 05:55

  why I killed these poems.

• 05:56 - 05:57

  So the two plants I chose.

• 05:58 - 06:01

  I see it a lot and I think these are

• 06:01 - 06:03

  purposes for a lot of animals to hide it.

• 06:03 - 06:06

  So they help our earth and the black baby hunts

• 06:06 - 06:08

  execs. So it helps a lot of us who don't

• 06:08 - 06:12

  my kids and the great horned owl like a natural

• 06:13 - 06:13

  rodent repellent.

• 06:14 - 06:16

  And I feel like the mountain is just so mighty,

• 06:17 - 06:21

  so great and it's really, really amazing.

• 06:22 - 06:24

  So I hope you enjoyed those poems.

• 06:24 - 06:26

  Thank you and Happy Earth Day.
