On Painted Grass

On painted grass you scamp
where once the bluebell toll
lying low—
enriched in addended exaltation

Hushed tan mixed within yellow
shadows spot the sentinel 
lonesome— 
clouds pass too slow

Last morsel of magnitude
left to track inside
scamper off—
the sun is left behind

I started reading this last night but got called away, and today while I was driving and almost ran over one that ran right out in front of my car, I remembered your poem. Very nicely done I sure enjoyed this my dear friend Tim... hugs and smiles :)

SO cute, Tim. I love the poem with the picture. I am turning into a squirrel myself, finding walnuts under my neighbor's tree. I have cracked at least 400 this past month!!
