this poem was perfectly crafted. this one made me think how sometimes a slight nudge or doing of something for someone can lift them up so that they rise above their predicament.

I absolutely love this poem. It reminds of us of ourselves and is beautifully written and flows so easily. Every word you used in this poem was perfect. The picture you chose was so exact with your words.

Comment from Just2Write
This poem is such a nice way of telling the world that squirrels inadvertently plant oak trees. Lots of them. It is a thought, but perhaps they don't forget the seeds they plant. One day will provide a home for the squirrel's future progeny, for trees not only feed the squirrel, it also is the place they make their nests. Wouldn't it be grand if people were as dumb as squirrels? They truly create a positive change on our little world. As always, Brooke - I loved your poem. Rose.

Comment from Dave M
Brooke,
This is an excellent poem about the industrious squirrel who did nature's work as well as his own. So many plants have adapted to rely on animals to reproduce themselves.
I couldn't find anything to criticize.

Comment from Oatmeal
ADEWPEARL,
The rhyming is well done. Vivid impressions and rich narration, all lines formatted very well. All things are moving effectively, nice and full of flashy impressions, well expressed. Thoughts are expressed and described very well.
There was no SPAG. No room for improvement.
Your feelings are very understandable and expressed through the poem.
I look forward to seeing you again.
Love you,
Oatmeal

Comment from Nicnac
This is so cute.
I can relate to this poem so well. I live in the woods and watch the squirrels through my kitchen window as they scurry around.
This poem has very nice imagery. I could picture the cute little guy searching around for his hiding place. haha
This is a fun poem. Thanks for the smile.

Comment from Peter@Poole
Absolutely lovely. Your rhymes and rhythm delight me as much as they would delight a child. The American grey squirrel has almost wiped out our native red squirrel. The grey was introduced here in the 19th century and has proved too agressive for the smaller species. This is not a complaint, just an observation. Peter

I love squirrels - they are just all over the suburbs - usually the first animal any child is introduced to other than birds because they live in everyone's yard. Too bad about the red ones though as they are just prettier :-) We Americans can be so pushy and love to beat out the Brits! LOL Thanks, Peter. Brooke :-)

Hey, didn't I wop with that rebel woman, the last time she spoke so sassily [is that American?]?
-
yes, being sassy is quite the American character trait :-) LOL
Comment from Nanette Mary
Hullo Adewpearl ....
I really enjoyed what you have written in the poem as well as in your Notes at the end. It certainly brought back memories of childhood, when we used to collect Acorns and stick pins or match-sticks into them to make arms and legs, then a second Acorn on top was the head with its own little cup-like hat. What fun it was!
Thank you for sharing this with us.
With love from ... Nanette Mary.

Thank you, Nanette Mary - I sure hope kids today still play such imaginative games as they spend some time in the great outdoors :-) I'm so glad I connected to your memories. Brooke
