Caren Krutsinger Poet Free verse

The Oranges and Browns of Autumn

squirrels get frisky
cold weather aids their enthusiasm
round and round the tree they run
horses glad to be walking on cool asphalt
loving the oranges and browns of autumn

L Milton Hankins September 25, 2021 at 11:49 AM My backyard is alive with them scurrying about, separating the leaves...I think trying to remember where they hid the nuts they were saving for winter. Love watching them. Caren Krutsinger September 26, 2021 at 4:00 AM I have squirrels all over here. Some are a beautiful light color, others are gray, some are brown. It is fun to see the squirrel diversity.

Jan Allison September 25, 2021 at 3:34 AM what a charming poem Caren, we dont have any squirrels on our island so i thoroughly enjoyed your poem hugs Jan xx Caren Krutsinger September 26, 2021 at 4:01 AM Thank you Jan. They are HILARIOUS but they have taken apart 18 bird feeders - including the ones that said "guaranteed squirrel-proof".
