I see you always dressed in grey apparel
Swift as an arrow you can run
Watching you scamper the tree is fun

Only a few days back while at Bangalore I was mad at squirrels, when they would eat away things kept for birds in a little birdie house. Now, here at Baroda I can only see them from far. But how can you be mad at them for long? And this poem says never ever.
A beautiful ode to one of the wonders of nature with great rhyme and compelling imagery. Very astute observation which makes a reader at close range with these lovely creatures. So beautifully written.
beautiful and perfect rhyme! your keen sense of observation displayed in every line! thanks for drawing my attention!

So delighted to read this poem. I my self have written a poem watching squirrels. These little creatures bring so much joy. Watching them play and cajole with each other always puts a smile on my face. Thank you for sharing.
What a delightful write! Reading this poem gives immense pleasure to the heart. What keen observation you have...and a wonderful vocabulary. I simply love this ode n cant help but give it full marks.
Squirrels are a great delight to watch and spend time. Your final stanza brings the squirrel so close to hand. I must carry some nuts.
Amazing flow of the ode portraying different moods and actions of a squirrel on the basis of minute observations are wonderful and have made the poem simply captivating as also superb. Thanks for sharing.10++ points.
I was in a park with someone special on a sunday noon, and we were looking in awe at a couple of little squirrels that came by playing around us.. My companion is a very big fan of these little ones and I seem to love them too.. It was a special Sunday as I was out on a second date with her, and those little ones just made the whole experience even more sweeter.. I loved your poem Valsa ma'am.. It is fine ode with wonderful rhyming words.. And my personal experience and recollection of thoughts in this tranquility made me have a spontaneous smile.. Thank you for sharing.
how I love these little creatures and you paint them in such lovely pictures thanks Valsa
I have mixed feelings about this tree rodent: -) Their antics delight me, but they mess up my gardens. Fantastic ode, Valsa. A 10
Contd. A lovely ode dear poet. For a few days now I was thinking of your poems, that for some time I've not read one, but failed to look for one. And this one comes to my view.
