A squirrel busily doing his fall shopping

Pauses to look at my cat

Sitting in the window

Looking at a squirrel

Busily doing his fall shopping.

Round and round exactly. This one is inventive and succinct at the same time, and we get this marvelous exchange between domestic and wild animal with the human shopping metaphor. Lovely.

LOL, loved the contrast between the predator and prey that are separated so must go upon their merry way. Excellent and unique!

I like how you bring your poem around... I used to have a small dog that loved to chase the squirels- one learned some tricks to tease him with, in the end Spot would be left barking up the wrong tree. The scene was entertaining.....Thanks for making me remember:)
