Squirrel

squirrel descends
crosses road, climbs tree....
bites unripe
               apple

Memory from summer tale from husband...

Charles Messina Date: 12/2/2022 3:29:00 AM Adorable little critters...We have grey here in NJ A lot of chipmunks too! Enjoyed! Nicely written, Sara!

The squirrels mostly are in the woods behind us and run out of the woods to our garden and orchard. Thanks for the visit. Sara

Valsa George Date: 12/1/2022 7:04:00 PM Squirrels are so agile. They run, hop, climb up and down and bite at fruits ripe and unripe. You have included all these in your beautiful haiku, dear Sara ! Login to Reply Sara Kendrick Date: 12/2/2022 3:51:00 AM Thank you, Valsa. I wanted to express the idea of how sour that apple was but just could not fit it into a Haiku. Sara

Tom Cunningham Date: 12/1/2022 10:11:00 AM Love imagery of nature, the greys are the dominent species here in the uk, have seen reds in Scotland where the greys haven't yet reached.

I don't think I have ever seen a red one like that. Thanks for the kind review of my work. Sara

Vijay Pandit Date: 12/1/2022 6:16:00 AM That is how it happens--fun to watch. Great imagery, Sara.

They are starving that time of year after everything gets gone during the winter and they need to fill back up. Thanks for the visit. Sara

Heidi Sands Date: 12/1/2022 3:36:00 AM I have been watching the squirrels lately. They like to come to the window sill and look in the window, when the food is gone in the bird feeder lol. Cute poem. I enjoyed :) Login to Reply Sara Kendrick Date: 12/1/2022 3:58:00 AM Heidi, They can be an interesting species to watch. Thanks for sharing your thoughts. Sara
