Putting Food By



cool morning
a gray squirrel hides acorns
in long shadows



  Today's  prompt at HAIKU HEIGHTS was challenging!  The  word is 'starve."

  3. Squirrels are smart that way. Nice on. I love the phrase, "Putting food by." It's so old-fashioned and homey.

  6. The food put by may be forgotten, and the squirrel may starve anyway!
