A Bit Nutty

It is 2 am here I am going on low sleep and needed to laugh so here it is I hope it's humorous for more than me.

Tree to tree, feeling anonymous and free. 
Scorn the rotten acorn, mourn those born to die. 
Defying gravity, here there is no depravity. 
So close to the sky I feel as if I could fly. 
Climbing branches, disagreements look like wild dances. 
Agile and wild... truly nature's child. 
All can be seen when the sky and the ground you are between. 
Fear the four wheel death, fear that being your final breath. 
Graceful, never wasteful and oh so plentiful. 
Like natures pearl... Possibly God's greatest creature... the squirrel.

Author's Note

I welcome thoughts... and acorns.

Some of my best poetry has risen from being sleep deprived or under the influence of pain killers. The silly ideas and thoughts that inspires us, and is then...during this moment of being half awake...or half asleep....that our creative voices become fully alert....free to pen our hearts out. God creative squirrel and man first? Everything else was just trial and error I suppose.

Your depth intrigues me, You speak in riddles... I enjoy. i am glad you relate to the late night wanderings of a chaotic mind.

Ive been having some disagreements with the squirrels around my house lately but i still love them dearly as i do this piece. I thought you captured them quite nicely and in the perfect light too. Very well done.

[unsavable_soul]

Thank you kindly GreenestLeaf.
I don't know about perfect light but I did with it what I could. I enjoyed writing it because it stands outside my norm for subject material. I appreciate that others have love for an animal that I have known some to go out of their way to run over. Thank you.
Sincerely
Chris

No problem Chris and i say the perfect light because they really are territorial, aggressive little b******s yet they are full of wonder and you portray that nicely. I like that you worked outside your box on this one and actually enjoyed it. Thats always great to hear. Keep up the good work. By the way you can call me Aly :) best wishes.

I shall try, and shall call you Aly as I feel that is a symbol of trust here to give my real name.read moreI shall try, and shall call you Aly as I feel that is a symbol of trust here to give my real name.

Adept at balance, fast to flee danger ,adorably cute and oh so independant...Next time I want to be a squirrel !! Lovely piece on nature and simple observation. Here I thought I needed a muse that provoked passion. He has been replaced by my garden. Thank you for the lightnes of this.

One has to accept the duality of all things as above all else this can not truly be changed. So with my darkness one would begin to see the light.
I am so glad you found something in this.

The squirrels?! For once i thought it was the superman, nice creativity in this poem. Really it was humorous.

[unsavable_soul]

Thank you dicey,
It's fun every once in a while to pick an abstract subject you wouldn't normally write about and do something interesting with it. or in my case try

Love this! very creative and fun

[unsavable_soul]

Thank you, the funniest thing is I was just sitting here looking at a wood pecker and thought to myself I should do a collection of works that reflect animal's lives through the relatable eye's of man. I am very happy you found enjoyment in this piece.

And as you said before, it's fun!

That's cool, I like squirrels. I feel like you described them very well with this poem, especially with the allusion to cars. That second line throws me off a bit though, because of how you rhyme the last word in every other line, but not there. Other than that it's a fun poem and sounds like you know your squirrels haha.
It's a fun poem.

[unsavable_soul]

You are right about the second line for sure, and you bring up an aspect that happens here and there in my writing more then I would like it to. Sometimes I wouldn't care, but in this piece flow was almost meant to be a rule. I appreciate the direct assistance, I got to get some sleep but tomorrow will definitely edit that second line a bit.
So glad I have met you.
