Joseph P. DiMino Poet Free verse

Squirrels

In that firm shell
a nut, the squirrel
squirrels away -- 
then off to play
thinking himself
secure for the season,
squirrels have their
squirrelly reason -- 
In that home
stores on shelves,
freezer keeps 
squirrel like meat -- 
now off to backyard
pick-nick, children 
giving squirrels nut 
treat --
