SQUIRREL

the winter squirrel
eyes bright    twitching
has come to be fed
happiness
one large english walnut

Squirrels are fun to watch; wish I could climb like they do. Nice poem here.

Gotta love them, Daver! Love when they twich. furry balls of excitement. We had made a friend of one grey, it would climb up to our shoulders to be fed.:) Peepin', like the name of your cat, followed our every action, from the outside.:) Wishing you a Merry Christmas...better stock up on walnuts! Love you, Mikki
