Malabika Ray Choudhury Poet Haiku

Friend In Grey Coat

in haste for ever
                          scurrying friend in grey coat
                                boisterous to watch

Connie Marcum Wong February 4, 2022 at 9:12 PM It is amazing to watch them move so quickly. I have tried to photograph them when I am in California and once in a while they will stop long enough for me to capture them with my camera. Congratulations on your wonderful winning haiku Mala. Blessings xxoo

Thanks for sharing this... making me virtually delight in squirrels... since I haven't seen one yet in its natural habitat (except in the zoo once). God bless you.
