{fall Haiku}

squirrels scamper
gathering, playful, desperate
Fall's last call

Kris, I am here a year later to ask again. What ever happened with you? You quit emailing me too and I will never know why. I hope all is well in your life. Luv, Andrea

Yes. Today I had around 8 of the fine fellows running all over my back yard burying nuts or digging up old ones. I have several cats who like to visit. Strangely, the cats aren't interested in chasing the squirrels, but when they do, the squirrels have a ball making fools of the pusses. Like your Haiku. Love, Dave

Oh yes the fall feeding frenzy Kris. I've observed this many times, the squirrels are seeming oblvious to anything but their feeding. Congratulations on a beautiful Haiku. Agape, Moses

Kris, hello there, dear friend. Sorry I didn't give you a top ten place since I think you are so talented! Thanks for supporting my contest even when you don't feel inspired lately. Loved the alliteration in your first line. Congrats on the HM. This was a very interesting contest for me to judge. It's almost 6 a.m. I never slept yet. Can you believe it?. LUv, Andrea

I love watching squirrels. They are so tame in my local park, they come and take nuts from your hands. Enjoyed your haiku Kris, best wishes in Andrea's contest ~ Sharon :)

I once saw a cartoon where the squirrels had posted notes to remind them where they had hidden their nuts..this reminded me of that. Nice one. BG

Desperately seeking the last array of acorns. Cute image, Kris. Love the last line -- my mother used to yell out "last call" when we were slow getting to the dinner table. Best wishes in Andrea's contest! Love, Carolyn
