Have you ever eaten squirrel stew? I have. It's not as good as it sounds. It tends to be greasy. not at all like opossum stew which is delicious and has a unique flavor. A dash of Tabasco sauce brightens it up.

I've eaten fried squirrel and didn't care for it. I've never tasted possum stew. How about goat's milk? I tried it once, and NEVER again.
Comment from Phyllis Stewart
Not my favorite type of poem (too much repetition) but you did a good job with the subject matter. The lacy branches, sun peeking through, and squirrels jumping all work together to paint a lovely picture. Good job. :)

Comment from Robert Zimmerman
Hello Yvonne. I like the whole idea being in a rocking chair on the porch, watching all of the nature occur right before your eyes. It actually gives me a feeling of nostalgia because as I grew up we had a very small front porch with a tiny little swing and two rocking chairs. We would set in the fall watching the leaves dropping from trees and I realize that I would soon be raking them all up. Robert

I have memories of our small porch. We sat out ever evening until it was too dark to see. Neighbors would speak as they passed by. Good old days. Thanks, Robert.

Great little poem. Simple but illustrative nonetheless. I really liked the rhyming scheme. Well thought out and you've chosen your words wisely. Keep the verses coming. Take care.

Very nice poem. Good rhyming. I can visualize the squirrels
jumping from tree to fence. I like you sitting in the rocker taking all
the different sights in.

The poem meets the criteria and lilts along with a very artful composition and the picture compliments the words within the poem. I enjoyed the read.

This is a lovely verse. I am not familiar with the format but I did appreciate the repetition of certain lines. The rhyme scheme worked well. Thanks for sharing.
