We humans often invest animals with human characteristics. The Bee with industry, the fox and coyote with cunning, the lion with power.
The squirrel is seen as a good symbol for us, the squirrel is able to conserve food forthe future. It appears frugal and wise, Though many an ancient oak owes a debt of thanks to a squirrel who forgot where it planted that acorn.
Brush Tail, Quick Bright eyes.
Save for tomorrow, Nuts hoard,
Frugal, noble saver.

This Haiku is my tribute to the squirrel.
Brush Tail, Quick Bright eyes.
Save for tomorrow, Nuts hoard,
