​Haiku~ By Gregg Dotoli

busy grey squirrel hears
fall acorns pit pat bounce
dashes out of nest
 
sun sets on pine run
shadows sprint for tilting sun
branch and bark flashes
 
bored black calico 
studies scuttling beetles
planning an attack
 
quiet sunrise mirror
orange purple clouds and moon
off wet bullfrog eye 
 
bright red cutthroat trout
sense dancing beetles
splash wakes desert fox
 
hissing fall raindrops
tapping rich soil and roses
night scents meander
 
red grey woodpecker
scuttles and hopscotches
listening for ants
