     squirrels seek acorns

The squirrels are always busy in the Fall gathering food. Also when the snow has fallen they still gather their nuts. They are Busy, busy, busy.I like this cute poem.

I like this one, how you had the squirrels at the end seeking their acorns. So you are numbering your KU, Kim? Good idea to do that!

Thank you, Andrea. I know that traditional haiku don't have titles, so I started numbering them. But then I couldn't remember what each one was so I started putting one word after the number so I 'd know which one was which.
