#this is a squirrel-hate free zone :) from All the Animals

 

"Brief interlude of awe, as squirrels climb up trees and jump from branch to branch, to a fence ledge or phone line. To its home, either underground or an old decaying tree or abandoned woodpecker hole." Quote by poet

Dark wisp of sailing ships, mender through vast graying sky, slowing closing the horizon flaming sunset. Toying breeze fans and lifts the bright green leathery leaves.  Squirrels scurry a pleasant musical interlude amongst the moist ground of sparse grass and roots, round acorns and broken twigs, beneath the live oak trees shade, then they scamper away to bury their prize.

Camp fire orange flames
Closing what is left of night
squirrel's acorn feast

Aloha, Eve! Your quote, including the accompanying Haibun, achieved a worthy 1st placement in Constance's contest! I must say that the Giphy squirrel nearly stole the show--aside from the nuts, that includes me--Cheers! Aloha, William

Delightful Haibun. No squirrels in Malta. I saw some in London ages ago when I visited Northampton Forest if that is the correct name. Blessings and hugs.
