“Inspired by ‘Failed Haiku’ Magazine”

(on squirrels)

I plant rosemary

and it supplants with acorns –

neither is happy!

“Highly Annoyed, We Two” Tanka 427

Tree-rat annoyed, waves

its bushy tail in rebuke

but stays close to perch!

Fearing me, a deadly foe:

and, you know, he’s right!*

*(I want to know right now, which of you Jokers told that squirrel I’m all bluff!)
