Autumn flurry
of rustic leaves
fallen softly
dressed down trees

Golden bundle
Shining fur
Fine-tuned sense
to hazelnut lure

excitedly leaps
Frolicks and springs
Games of acorns
Acorns of Kings

Standing tall
Snowy white breast
Squirelling stock
for barren land's test

Sweet tufty ears
Playful wee claws
Come back and visit
Once winter has thawed
