A Squirrely Sonnet

Look at that sun shining so bright, I had such a good rest last night, I do so much, just love this tree, this is the best bed I’ve ever seen. Old oak, old oak, my gentle friend, I must go now and attend to foraging treasures for my winter’s nest, I’ll stage my very own, winter-fest. Inviting friends to my lovely new tree, we’ll dine on acorns, walnuts, chickpeas. Perhaps we’ll have dried apples too, there’s such a mighty harvest of foods. Then we’ll bed down, in slumber deep, in snugly warmth, this tree, we’ll keep.

Oh, this poem made me smile and smile. I LOVED IT. I enjoyed a book about a little squirrel as a child. I have not thought about it in years. Your cozy poem was nostalgic 4 me and I just loved it.
