Tiny Acorns In the Leaves

tiny beige acorns in the leaves
not the whole acorn
not the tasty brown part
just what the squirrels left
the lids 
I smile at these hats

The little things of life love when they are seen. They take off their hats, welcoming the poet's sharp eyes.

They leave them all over my yard. I have oak trees, walnut trees, and I am growing a fir tree, and a baby elm that came up spontaneously. I live in a forest, and am surrounded by giants who protect me always.
