Baffles

Squirrels leap with vain effort,
Baffles guard the seeds.
Autumn's bounty held aloft,
Nature's jest in silent play.

I only saw some squirrels once in North London. Your poem makes me curious and I admire the way squirrels guard their food.

Thank you for your comment. Squirrels are survivors in cities and the countryside. I love their playfulness. Don

This is a fun poem Don, I admit I had to google what 'baffles' are as I was baffled to the context of the seeds being guarded lol. I do enjoy reading poems about squirrels as we have none on our little island:-) hugs Jan xx
