Acorns

Aloft in mighty oaks
 Autumn signals their fall
 As eager squirrels wait
 Anticipating an
 Avalanche, nutty treats
 After which comes the feast
 Accommodating all

You have captured so much about acorns and squirrels and preparation for winter in so few syllables and lines, Joseph. Congratulations on your fine placement in the contest. Sandra

VERY WELL DONE. I was thinking of acorns as one of my own words to use but sure never would have come up with one to beat this one, Joseph. Big congrats

Fantastic imagery in this one Joseph. I once write a poem entitled "Little Gray Pirates" you might enjoy about squirrels looking for acorns. Good luck in contest!
