ocean searching miner
keep mind live heart
crossed give
The expression ‘hibernation’
To us chipmunks of relevance
We switched to be larder hoarders
Time of the year we were busiest
From the beginning of Autumn
Like pirates of old in vast oceans
Searching fighting and plundering
Scoured the jungle floor foraging
Dug burrows not unlike a miner
To keep in mind the harsh winter
To live and stock food deep down
In the very heart of the ground
In the mean time when moving fast
Unwittingly we crossed your path
We would quickly quit our scampering
Just give a loud shout of ALVIN…!!
Witty and enjoyed the scamp!

wise indeed!..
ReplyDeletehaha give that shout and they will stop and start to sing
ReplyDeleteAlvin and his chums can teach us a lot...hibernation and preparation..the keys to survival!
ReplyDeleteEvery living thing in nature has right to live and we should respect this. well said in your poem:)
ReplyDeleteDon't talk to me about chipmunks right now, Hank. (smiles) I have a losing battle against a group of them that seem to enjoy living in my yard.
ReplyDeleteEven chipmunks have there place in creation. I hope.

ReplyDeleteI like the similarity to chipmunks in all of our preparing for winter, tucking away the fruit and veggie preserves........

ReplyDeletethey are the cute and cheeky but my mother-in-law never liked them because they eat the bird food and chewed on her roof timber.
ReplyDeleteHank, from the bottom of heart, I know I am a little bit emo, I thank you for following me and commenting at my new site, I didn't realize that Tumblr has a feed and it'll appear at your blog reader and it was so nice to see my name on your side bar.
Hank,
ReplyDeleteNow, I have an image of chipmunks wearing little pirate hats..too funny..I enjoyed your poem.
Ah.... Alvin. I know him. Just make sure The Rhyming Cat doesn't catch him.
