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 April 30, 2020 Couplet Poetry Contest Sponsor: Dear Heart

I watched two emptying my bird feeders while upside down on two twin trees yesterday. They are masterful.

They let you watch them while you were upside down?! Those cruel birds! (Just kidding). :) gw

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

'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!

Squirrels are nowhere near as numerous in Chicago as they were 20 - 30 years ago, though I don't see anyone concerned about it. :) gw
