Hi Gerard,
This haiku uses words well to give strong images of a driveway filled with
acorns freeing their seeds. I like the armor metaphor.
Congrats on placing third in the contest.
Keep writing and stay healthy.
Have a great day.

Thank you very much Nancyjam! I was pleasantly surprised that this resonated as well as it did. it just goes to show me some of the best ones are often underrated. Thank you! Gerard!

This is a neat write! The imagery and descriptions speak of a creative and imaginative mind. Bombadier acorns... armor plate driveway. Love it. Well done and good luck!

Like the best things we all write the underlying factor is that it is true and happening in real time Thanks Yusita! regards GK

It sounds like these squirrels don't like tidying up after themselves as they leave the debris for you to clear here, a fun post about the wildlife in your garden, love Dolly x

Dolly, they perform such acrobatic feats that they would make the 3 Stooges jade green with envy. They are natural clowns when it comes to enjoying a meal. Thank you Regards GK
