Improv/ Imitation Entry 1 (Week 2)

This week I want to imitate a section of the Rattlesnake poem by Richard Hugo.

"I found him sleepy in the heat
And dust of a gopher burrow.
Coiled in loose folds upon silence
In a pit of the noonday hillside."

(here is one about the snow burrowing dogs.)

"She found her awake in the cold
and snow of the white hole.
Wrapped in a ball in the walled
in early morning mountain."

(here is one about the prairie dog)

"He saw him hiding in the dry
and straw of the grassy colony.
Lumped in the short hair upon fear
in a hole on the midday field."


So these are just two terrible examples. I wanted to try and imitate the specific place and the language but I am not sure if I did that accurately.
