Sara Kendrick Poet Haiku

Notes About The Poem

Squirrel

squirrel quietly 
glides across yard, under fence....
blueberry patch waits 


Date: 6/22/2022
Checked online on syllable counter. com
It says glides has two syllables, but according to two dictionaries it does not have two syllables.  Therefore, there are 5/7/5 syllables in this one. I checked it with Poetry soup's syllable and it was 5/7/5.

Beata Agustin July 8, 2022 at 7:43 AM Wow! Thanks for sharing this, making me virtually see a squirrel, since I haven't seen one in our place (except when I visited the zoo). God bless you. Sara Kendrick July 8, 2022 at 1:02 PM Beata, A place that doesn't have squirrels. Can't imagine that. We don't have them in and around our home as much as they do in the city, but I do see one on occasion. I did the morning I wrote this one. Your visit was delightful. Sara
