Three February Haiku

THREE FEBRUARY HAIKU

squirrels hiding nuts
on this bright and shining day
that ingrained wisdom

kitty up a tree
squirrel chatters noisily
blue jay stealing nuts

trees like sentinels
stark against the winter sky
life below goes on

Your haiku have delightful images of animals and flora, Daver. I thought squirrels hid nuts in the fall to make it through the winter, but I love the thought of the aggressive blue jay stealing the nuts. Thank you for sharing your talent and for your friendship. Love, Carolyn
