Feast Your Eyes

They scoot up trees with the greatest of ease
  Then down again, like Swedes on skis

Exquisite balance changing gears
  They zoom around throughout the years

Wherever you live, city or rural
   Feast your eyes upon a whip-tailed squirrel

Caren Krutsinger Date: 5/4/2020 6:42:00 AM I watched two emptying my bird feeders while upside down on two twin trees yesterday. They are masterful. Login to Reply Gershon Wolf Date: 5/4/2020 4:14:00 PM They let you watch them while you were upside down?! Those cruel birds! (Just kidding). :) gw

Susan Ashley Date: 5/1/2020 9:48:00 PM Aw, so true, Gershon. We have quite a few resident squirrels in our yard that both annoy, (but mostly), entertain us with their antics. Great imagery that expresses the squirrels' lively nature with ease. Best wishes for a win, my dear friend.. ~Susan Login to Reply Gershon Wolf Date: 5/2/2020 11:04:00 PM Thanks for such a lovely, encouraging comment, my dear poetess! Cheers, Gershon

Michelle Faulkner Date: 4/30/2020 10:37:00 PM 'Swedes on skies' - something about that line is so YOU, Gershon :) And I love squirrels - we have a squirrel feeder in the front yard, along with most of our neighbors!
