Creeping ever so slowing
it came into sight
looking around waiting
for the time to be right
Easing to the right
and then to the left
waiting in anticipation
for the theft
Eyes on it now
nothing in sight
ready to jump
no need for fright
Evasion manuevers
there is a rattle
hiding at the stairs
a bird about to tattle
Bird flies away
time to creep again
now in position
running and jumping to begin
In the air
to the feeder he rose
oh what a lovely prize
out all the seed goes
To the ground
where all the seed falls
the squirrel begins to eat
the winner of it all

Squirrels are much too adept at robbing bird feeders!

Squirrels are funny to me. Your poem is spot-on. I recently saw one carry a banana all the way up to the top of a Palm tree.
Thank you. Thanks for sharing.
Squirrels are fun to watch, but don’t get close.
I agree. Thanks for reading.
Beautiful shot and poem! Keep up the good work!
Thank you.
