after his pause
a squirrel climbs past

    Ahhhhaaaaa!

    Wow! This is so cute and pretty! This has excellent imagery and light-heartedness. It resonates very well. It's an amazing Zen moment. This brought back some wonderful memories to me of feeding bread to squirrels in Orlando at the Lake Lily Park. No squirrels here in Oman. Sigh! This 'ku definitely made me smile This has excellent juxtaposition and an "Aha" moment to it. It's a perfect write!

    Hi there,
    I feel this very cleverly expressed, and it describes a squirrel well. I have not seen a squirrel for over a year. But this poem brought the memories back, where I would sit and feed them. Where you were allowed to. Well done once, again and thanks for sharing this delightful piece. Please keep writting as I feel many will enjoy you work. Well done once again. I will spred the word to my cousine and brother, as I'm sure they will enjoy it as much, as I did.

    I haven't seen a squirrel in ages, but warm creatures they are. This was cleverly expressed, what I like about this is, it's not a given that he's upon some tree, he can be on anything.

    Intriguing

    Hi Andrew:
    I have to admit, Andrew, this is a deep Haiku. I am a very visual person, but having difficulty visualizing this last line. Interesting and deeper than maybe I can comprehend tonight. Thanks for the write, it is intriguing.

    Hey I can see this. There is this huge tree right outside the room where I have class every week and two squirrels live in it. They entertain me for hours. I think I would fall asleep most days if not for their antics. I hve to be careful not to laugh out loud at their antics... Susan
