Squirrels - Cq

around my home
there are squirrels
in the old trees . . . 
the wild wind blows 

squirrels scamper
wee ones grow-up
in the old trees . . . 
fall leaves drifting

Andrea Dietrich Date: 9/20/2019 6:04:00 PM BAck with my congratulations, Dear Heart. I wonder, do you see many squirrels in your yard? My sister has them all over the area she lives in Arkansas. They had a weird name for them , something like RATS. I asked her why and she said they were in the rodent family But for me, they are just too adorable for that.

Paul Callus Date: 9/20/2019 4:38:00 AM Congratulations on your fine win, Constance. I enjoyed this delightful entry, and the sweet accompanying visual. The connection between the two stanzas is well reflected in the combination of both end lines: the wild wind blows...fall leaves drifting.

I was so inspired by the baby squirrel sleeping and by the form that this was a joy to write.

Sunlite Wanter Date: 9/1/2019 11:04:00 AM How precious! As we speak squirrels are feasting in my bird feeders. Some people try to get rid of them, but I say come one, come all, to all the little birds and critters.
