The Squirrel Incident

Haiku Hijinks

By Heather PattonPublished 3 years ago 1 min read

Squirrel in the house

Chaos ensues, tail flicks wild

Nature's in, out game

...

Stuck in the gutter,

Mate chitters, begs for rescue,

Life's struggle revealed.

...

Human in panic,

Chasing squirrel to and fro,

Couch, a safe haven.

...

Gutter rescue made

Squirrel-free, reunited

Nature's harmony

...

Rabies scare subsides,

Squirrel's motive discovered,

Human laughs at self.

About the Creator

Heather Patton

I can usually be found reading a book, anything from SciFi / Fantasy Adventures to Paranormal Romance. I love writing, DMing a small tabletop D&D gaming group, and playing video games with my husband and two sons.
