Dear Gray Squirrel,
Tell me, what are you looking for!
The bird food you do deplete,
Yet you keep passing by my door,
Is your search never complete?
Your manners I do deplore!
Always looking for a tasty treat!
You’ve had that, yet look for more!
Your greed knows no defeat!
Rhyme
This poem was inspired by the gray squirrel that lives in a tree in my backyard who seems to never get full nor tired. He is always eating or searching. He is cute but can really be a pest at times! 😊
The Sprouts of Spring, what joy they bring!

Blackout Poetry
Saw a Robin today
Come to chase winter away
Flying in to help celebrate
January’s final day
Ruba’i
Whispering
In the trees
Nipping at my nose
Dancing with the leaves
Acrostic
A faint rainbow in the sky.
Is a dove above?
Coincidence?
Quinzaine
Beguiled her towards the tree.
Yes, Beguiled her with trickery.
Charmed and Beguiled was she.
Serpent Deluded and Beguiled Eve
Towards tasting his tree,Beguiled!
Repetition Poetry
Covered in snow
The mountain
Majestic it stands
Syllable Lune
Cabbages and Kale
Wear Ruffles and Pearls
In the land of kings
They dance til dawn
While sparrows watch
And nightingale sings
Their splendor soon fades
As warm breezes kiss
And sunshine brings
The end of Winter’s ball
And thus herald in
Sights which are Spring’s

Mr. Gray Squirrel is back today
Eating from the feeder like it’s okay
“You’re a funny looking bird” I say
My comment causes him no dismay
“Mighty fine sunflower seeds” says he
“Quite worth my trip down the tree”
“Ah yes, but not meant for you” says me
With a smile and nod, away he does flee
