This month's entry is taken from a book randomly selected from my bookcase. Timothy Findley's Dust to Dust.
Phrases on the lines:
blue beyond the trees
no quite all the way to spring
all morning and all afternoon
They seem very appropriate for the weather we are having here in early spring!
Here is Lee's poem using words from the book.
On the deck I do stand,
surveying all my wonderful land.
In the tree what do I spy?
A cheeky, squeaky little guy,
who sits out there all morning and afternoon,
if I am lucky he will be my lunch soon.
But the railing blocks my way,
he is safe for another day!
Watch out Red John here I come,
There will be nothing left, not even a crumb!
Can you spot Red John the Squirrel? |
Blasted tree rats.

ReplyDeleteOMD Lee this is FURtastic!!! you have quite the way with witty lines and I love this. Thanks for taking part - I have added you to the linky. Hugs and wags, YAM-aunty xxx
that is a super poem... we can ponder while reading what we would do with that Red John... red-atouille maybe?
ReplyDeleteLove it! There were five squirrels out when Dad took me on my walk and none of them looked the slightest bit scared of me. I think I need to get a Freddy Kruger mask or something.

Love your poem! Enjoy your Red John lunch, Hailey!
ReplyDeleteWe hope you managed to chase Red John off even if you didn't catch him. Rotten hoodlums they are!🐿
ReplyDeleteThat was a great poem. We hope you get him some day.

Well done, Lee - we see that tree rat on the trunk there. Those tree rats are so annoying.

We see Red John! We see him!! Fantastic poem! We spend a LOT of our time watching those tree rats too!
ReplyDeleteThat's a cute poem. I wonder if those little red squirrels are more polite than the Evil Squirrel Cartel gray squirrels we have around here?
ReplyDeleteWe sure hope you get him one day Hailey!!
