in the summer we have chipmunks and the occasional squirrel who eat the peanuts we leave for them to store in their winter stashes. in the winter we leave vegetables for the bunnies. a lovely haiku. steven
How beautiful! We have a fat red squirrel who will eat out of my hand. He stands on his hind legs and curls his arm under (as if it is hurting) when he begs. There's nothing wrong with him. I'm convinced it's a ploy to sucker me into giving him more peanuts. It works, because I do. Your poem makes me smile!
Makes me smile. They are so charismatic. We have one that sits on the fence outside the kitchen window. She is always there when we wash-up and looks at us as if to say 'you losers, I just eat and go, no washing-up'!
