Squirrel's Exhibition


taking all its course
in swift acrobatic feats
wind’s walnuts heist

he texted his order to door dash
what do we want for dip?
hazelnuts or walnuts?
acorns
the usual please, honey
he nodded
barbeque sauce with a side of nutella...

Gummy Santa’s adorning
My fruitcake and dates
Inside with candied cherries, 
raisins, walnuts and
Oranges, floating 
Fondant red,
Bliss!...

Walnuts are good for the brain;
and they help to keep us sane!
Eat them much,like in-between meals;
and you will want to do extra cartwheels!

Cream cheese and flour are combined
With fine chopped walnuts
A cup of drained pineapple 
And grated carrots
To bake a classic
Carrot cake
Tart

september morning
acorn brownies and faeries
walking on walnuts

october morning
autumn pixie dash
lazy cat gives a wide yawn

november morning
waking up to pumpkin pie
best smelling kitchen...

spongy mushroom land
a violets gentle smile
leaves on forest floor

squirrels cast aways
crucified pieces and bits 
acorns and walnuts

waters turn over
fish burrow into the banks
novembers coming...

CRACKERS

Christmas is over it's time to put the nuts away
We never eat "em; we just use them for display

Tasty, oh so
fine, this dough, thin
phyllo pastry.

No ifs or buts,
the walnuts, chopped,
are what’s inside.

For your money,
pure honey, not
runny, is best.

And Turkish? Shriek!
Yes, unique, but
it’s Greek to me....

colored leaves fall down
inside food warmth and laughter
a pause for prayer
it's time squirrels cached walnuts
it's autumn's pretty party

Cardinal wearing a bright orange vest
Lights quite close to my squirrel’s nest
I asked her if this was a crazy test
She flew off snobby,  which was the best.
Later I wondered about her sordid quest
As I gobbled walnuts from my warm sweet nest...

Therapy

 
In my hand, I squeeze
this trinity of walnuts tighter till
 
louder than that tot who just
rapped her elbow
 
off the radiator, I can hear
clearer than the sirens
 
I’ve heard all these years
real fear as walnuts whimper

He kept saying his king was “such a squirrel” over and over.
I thought he was being disrespectful to the monarch, my brother Dover.
But then I met the king who was breaking walnuts with his teeth.
In a way, finding out he was a real squirrel was kind of a relief....

colors of autumn
shine a glorious truth
exciting me in a plethora of ways
saturating me with joyful feelings
enthusiasm kicked up by cheerful leaves
wind chimes announcing arrival of elves
walnuts and acorns bouncing off squirrels
leaf piles enticing my artist heart to paint...

Once upon a time walnuts were my fave
So tasty and terrific
But canker sores galore

Hey hazelnuts might taste lovely I thought
So I put them in coffee
And promptly stopped breathing

Thank God peanut butter does not hurt me
If I had to give it up
I would jump off a bridge...

my thoughts are like willow trees
swaying and swooping, 
there is no oak bark
we drop no acorns or walnuts
the sky understands
he winks at us in a communal way

there is no conspiracy
just me and the world
the clouds are few 
giving me pause
I like clouds
we willows thrive in rain...

We went walking
among the trees
in the sloping woods
where the chill wind
lost its way.

A search for fallen walnuts.

We shared one mitten,
and finger-danced
in that hiding place.

Other hunters
asked us
if we had found anything?”

Our eyes were secretly bright,
as we answered,
“Yes."...

Itsy bitsy brain
Inside my walnut head
When someone so much smarter
Reads what I have said
Then takes the big
Nut-cracker
And to my head applies
Walnut shards now in my brain,
I'm running out of lies
Now I see
Thanksgiving's Day's bowl of nuts
I say silently to myself;
My God, I'm such a G.D. putz!...

Spring mix sprinkled with balsamic and fig
A whirligig of walnuts and crisp cranberries
Décor’s sweet dawn of strawberries
A fork and buds to taste
At first so cold then so warm somehow
As fiber and vitamins rush
To aid the holiday’s overindulgence
Of snow and damp, fat and sweet
