Squirrel High Rise
Listen to Janice's poem ...
Two round cozy nests
of twigs and leaves
in the highest branches
of a tall tall tree,
hovering over
the hills and town—
like fancy
penthouse apartments.
There is not one window,
none at all,
or an elevator
in the hall.
And squirrels don’t pay
even the smallest fee
for a cozy apartment
in a high rise tree.
of twigs and leaves
in the highest branches
of a tall tall tree,
hovering over
the hills and town—
like fancy
penthouse apartments.
There is not one window,
none at all,
or an elevator
in the hall.
And squirrels don’t pay
even the smallest fee
for a cozy apartment
in a high rise tree.
