he sits there in his tree all day,
a tiny monk, robed in grey;
with folded paws, he starts to pray–
to all the squirrel gods.
*
he prays with everything he’s worth
to launch the bloom of mother earth;
the time has come for her rebirth–
against all earthly odds.

You captured the little tree rat perfectly. I’m sure he’s probably in the spring, too. Happy wanderings!

Great poem and photo! A lot of squirrels up north go into a dormant hibernation.

Thank you, Tom! Maybe it’s the weird weather, but I’ve been seeing many of them around.
