~My Nutty Squirrel Poem~

Up in a tree, on a branch
Now you see me, now you don't!

Sneaky and fast, I'm adorable
Now, why would you hunt or shot me for fun?
Do you like, how fast I run?
I'm not just another chipmunk 
Stuffing my face with nuts,
I'm classy...

Word Squirrel
Rodents can be loquacious
That includes your average gerbil
They love to prattle, chat and blather
They really are quite verbal

Hamsters are talkative too
Just as garrulous as can be
With running mouth and wheel to match
They are a sight to see

But I am loath to squander words
Sparing usage is...

Squirrel Real Estate
Squirrel agent showed him thousands of trees
this particular client being very picky
how about this one she'd plead
no he'd say not enough leaves

She'd say this one is nice but he'd disagree
saying too many squirrels means no privacy
after weeks of driving around they got into a rut
basically...

I reckon you'll find this tale of romance less fact than fiction,
But please bear with me as I try to give it plausible depiction.
I was about half asleep, musin' on the patio the other day,
When my gaze settled on my ornamental iguana on display.

It reposes...

A Squirrel Cried
A Squirrel Cried

I heard outside a mournful sound
I went outside to look around
A squirrel cried for heaven’s sake
Cried as if he heart did break
A from the corner of my eye
I saw a pair of wings fly by
Wings that took off for the trees
I saw at...

Premium Member Shivering Squirrel (Winter of '73) For James Marshall Goff
What am i doing
I'm a squirrel in the cold
I should have listened to my mam
And done what i was told

But not me you see
I wanted to go into town
To look for nuts and goodies
Until a strong wind blew me down

I fell into a corner
All white...

Premium Member The Smile of a Nut-Brown Squirrel
A nut-brown squirrel wore his smile in a curl,
such a clever one was he.

He ate nuts and fruit in his nut-brown suit
in my avocado tree.

He gave me such lip, and never did tip,
and ate my harvest for free....

Premium Member Squirrels Paws On My Eyes
Squirrel’s friendly kisses,
Squirrel’s loving squeeze.
Squirrel’s touch just misses.
Squirrel, if you please!

We are playing surprise?
Squirrel’s paws on my eyes.
I am supposed to guess?
Up in this squirrel nest?

Squirrel of my dream,
You are making me beam.
You are a shining star,
I know which one you are....

Premium Member A Squirrely Sonnet
 Look at that sun shining so bright,
I had such a good rest last night,
I do so much, just love this tree,
this is the best bed I’ve ever seen.

Old oak, old oak, my gentle friend,
I must go now and attend
to foraging treasures for my winter’s...

Morning Whispers Collaboration With Brenda Chiri
Taking in all the beauty of 
this sunny brand new day
As squirrels scurry about,
caught up in their play
Watching brilliant colors 
blend together up in the skies
A soft gentle breeze whispers
Good Morning in silky sweet sighs

amidst the threads
of autumn trees
i listen as the morning speaks
a sigh...

Premium Member My Songbirds and Squirrels
The songbirds are plentiful where I live in the middle of oaks
I had four birdfeeders, but white tail deer slammed into them
Until they broke into bits, for they were plastic and did not survive
As they were being deer-bashed against the trunk of these oaks.

To discourage...
