new forest sets sail
on waves of lush undergrowth
acorns drop like rain
in a mast year for oak trees
the squirrelly pirates indulge

The acorns do seem plentiful. I was almost hit by one walking through the woods recently. I liked those squirrelly pirates.

Fascinating creatures, appropriately captured in your poem, Tanya. Just beware they don’t get into your roof space. They can cause devastating damage there before their presence is detected.

Thank you, Roland! They are crazy. We had one try to get in through the screen of an open window a few weeks ago. 😊

Tanya, whenever we used to hike with the kids, I would come back with pocketfuls of their keepsake acorns they found. Thanks for the reminder. Keith

Glad it brought back happy memories for you! I finally resorted to telling my kids that they could collect things as long as they carried them home. 😊
