BURIAL GROUND

 

My back yard

is a burial ground

for acorns

that have fallen down

 

And squirrels are always

coming 'round

to bury acorns

later found

 

I watch their antics

from afar

how do squirrels recall

where acorns are?

 

I am their vault

their storage yard

squirrels have good sense

in that regard.

Is it a cornucopia or acorn utopia - or both!
