Dan Cwiak Poet Free verse

Outside My Window

Round and round she goes
    Eyes flashing, Nose twitching, Tail wagging,
 Searching...          Searching...          Searching...

 Passing quickly over the grass
    Jumping for the corn and seeds,     STOP!!  
  Racing...              Racing...              Racing...

 Running to the safety of your tree
     Standing silent on the lawn     
   Sniffing...            Sniffing...             Sniffing...

  Taking the high wire over the road
     Seeking the acorn on the ground, Hide it.
    Hurry...              Hurry...              Hurry...

Michael Tor September 26, 2015 at 6:46 PM Nice imagery vibrant squirrel! Nicely done Dan. Dan Cwiak September 26, 2015 at 7:47 PM Thanks Michael. I appreciate the read.

CayCay Godwin September 26, 2015 at 10:02 AM Your poem is very frisky and creative. I enjoyed it. I was thinking dog, but Mark's question about a squirrel makes sense. Great write, Dan ... CayCay Dan Cwiak September 28, 2015 at 9:15 PM Thanks, CayCay. See my note to Mark below.

Mark Woods September 26, 2015 at 5:17 AM I'm only guessing because we don't have them here but are you referring to a squirrel? Nonetheless this made me smile with the imagery. Mark Woods September 27, 2015 at 2:17 AM Dan & CayCay no we don't have squirrels in New Zealand, in fact we don't have any native land mammals just introduced ones. So no not in the Arctic lol but I would love to go there one day! Dan Cwiak September 26, 2015 at 7:40 PM Yes, this is a squirrel. I had to rename the poem because of the contest rules. Thanks for the read. NO Squirrels...you're not in the Arctic, are you? CayCay Godwin September 26, 2015 at 10:00 AM I'm straight tripping, you have no squirrels? I never knew that ... CayCay
