Chipmunk Poems

chipmunk soup is a delight

creamy chipmunk soup is a delight
the buttery taste is out of sight
It’s best eaten in the pale moonlight
stated a customer, named McMite

salty chipmunk soup is a delight
don’t let the floating hairs give you a fright
They tickle your throat both day and night
Oh yes, this wonderful soup is out-of-sight

Chipmunk

I love to tease and tear around your yard,
while happily chattering and chirping away.
I enjoy searching for acorns and other nuts,
and stuffing my cheeks full while I run and play.

I sometimes find a rare delicacy in your yard,
yummy tulip bulbs and fresh ornamental flowers.
I recently ate your huge orange hibiscus bloom,
and hope you add more,

The Return Gift - Nursery Rhyme

Chinnu, the chipmunk got a gift, a corn,
from her best friend, Hugo, the hippo.
She planned to eat the tasty corn soon,
and meet Hugo the next afternoon 
to give him a large pear that she’d stored
in her burrow near the neem tree.

An idea sparked in Chinnu’s brain then.
She thought, ‘Why can’t I give Hugo right now

Chipmunk Poses For a Pix

chipmunk pauses under blossoms of spring
pondering her future?
anticipating an enemy?
planning her trousseau?
expecting a model’s fee?
No matter.

She is captured in time, by the whir of a button.
Saved and uploaded onto a computer.
A memory caught in mid step.
I smile as she fills my screen.
My new screen saver.
My favorite photo of the week.
Maybe of the month.

Said the Chipmunk To the Hawk

Said the Chipmunk to the Hawk

Said scared, little, tail-striped chipmunk to red-tailed hawk,
“I am hidden over there where you will not find me.”

Said hawk in a swoop to another branch, “Jiggle that
tail again, so I’ll dive and sweep you off to heaven!”

Crouching as flat to the earth as she could be, chip-

A Chipmunk Named Georgie Mcgee

He owned a pet chipmunk named Georgie McGee 
who loved to eat almonds while counting to three 
little by little he inched his way in 
nuzzling sweetly right up to Quinn 
who never thought  squirrels could live duty free

He ravaged tomatoes and ate little leaves 
while Quinnie reviewed every  pet peeve 
he dug

Chipmunk Island

A chipmunk chases another, 
who somehow vice-versas the first,
One chipmunk pops out of a hole,
and hops across the lawn,
and stops upon the wall,
and rests upon its haunches, 
to chew up a maple seed,
One jumps up a rohodendron’s wiry arms,
and scrambles to get lost among the leaves,
Piercing with a peep somewhere deeper in the woods,
Does The

Chipmunk

A ping of appearance,
while the world skids on.

I expect Wiley Coyote to turn up,
but it is only chipmunk,
a little mousy hot-rod, tuned-up
to outrun perception.

Yours is the trembling electric instant;
truly you are a light unto yourself.
Murine wisp with whiskers,
always thrilled by your own survival.

The dead-stop of your arrival, 
blurs my ken, then you are gone
while I

Chipmunk Games

Tiny chipmunks play; chasing all day
One another through my gutters.
Fur balls of joy, Chip and Dale;
Melting my heart and soul;
Is a chipmunk’s goal.
They feel my joy;
Elation;
When they
Play.

A Warm Start To a Cool Day

The chipmunk bares her teeth, not in anger, but in fun, and to scare her enemy.
I meander a bit to the left,
         letting the cool grass push me along, 
               and then I

Chip and Dale live on in every chipmunk.
My gutters are a playground;
My camera delights.

Chipmunks Picnic

As I was sitting on a bench and I was looking at this tree 
Down ran a chipmunk, who came to say hello to me
 
I reached inside my tote bag to see what I could find 
To give to Mr. Chipmunk while he sat on his behind
 
I found a bag of peanuts that

The Owl and the Chipmunk

Sitting on a rooftop 
About one hundred feet from me 
Was a big old hooting owl 
Eyeing a chipmunk in a tree
 
It was early in the morning 
And the sun was on the rise 
When his wings began to flutter 
As the sun glared in his eyes
 
The chipmunk started chirping 
As he ran

The Chipmunk

The
Chipmunk
Chirps loudly
Scurries about
Across the stone wall
Chasing others
Playful ways
Hide and
Seek
