Probir Gupta Poet Haibun

The Squirrel

Will you please give some
More cashews to chew pleasure
The squirrel asked us
It moved around the tree trunk
and chittered, its tiny eyes
Sparkling, I offered two more
White nuts on my palm
Nicely it came and took them
And gave out a whining sound
Four more scampered out
Of their burrows in cool shade
A cute mug of lemonade
