Squirrel in a tree
Quirky as can be
Unaware of me
It sits where I can see
...
Thousands upon thousands of brilliant diamond shards
Tumbling, ever tumbling
...
Ever since the start of reality,
I've been a little square on my family tree.
Ever since the start of reality,
I've been a child of Adam and a child of Eve.
...
The classroom is quiet,
No sound but for the scratching of pens
On blue-lined paper
And the rhythmic click-click of the ceiling fans.
...
I look up at the sky each night
And see the stars, so proud and bright
As fine as diamonds, white as snow.
And as I marvel at their sight,
...
I see
The faint reddish glow of the lamp through my eyelids as I lie content in my bed.
I hear
The gentle drip-drip of light rain on the tin roof.
...
My lonely place
That's only real inside my head,
But I visit often all the same.
Silence, sweet silence.
...
Her hair a beautiful golden blonde,
Flowing down her back
and shining in the dawn sunlight.
Her eyes, deep and stormy grey,
...
Shining white wolf in the rain
Standing on the hill
By the big oak tree.
Oh how you bay.
...
Squirrel Acrostic
Squirrel in a tree
Quirky as can be
Unaware of me
It sits where I can see
Resting, watch it stir
Rustling, fuzzy fur
Energetic whir
Leaves in a blur.
