Haiku - Squirrel

the wind deathly still tree branches moan in the cold ... a squirrel scampers over the deep snow around the gray rows and rows ... squirrel sits on stone headstones deeply carved snowfall has hidden names etched ... squirrel leaps up tree _______________________ February 1, 2022 Poetry/haiku/squirrel Copyright Protected, ID 01-1427-039-01 All Rights Reserved, 2022, Constance La France Written for the Premier contest, Squirrel Haiku sponsor, Robert James Liguori, Judged 2/2/2022 Fifth Place
