Yes
As simple as that

In warm sun
A gray squirrel—
Eating French fries

I am especially fond of this 'write!'

It is not only effective American 'Zen minimalism' in general...
capturing a fine transient ('slice of life') moment in the cycle
of seasons...but, it also delimits how life typically 'finds an way'
(how Gaia's creatures adapt to the eccentricities and 'culinary
inventions' of humans; etc.)

applause!

Too cool!

And I agree with Bruce too.

Love.

Huan Yi,

This paints a nice picture of a person sitting in the park, feeding a gray squirrel French fries, in the warm spring sun.

I don't think I could ever do that, as I'm very greedy, and I like  fries, but who knows.

I wanted to pay another 'official visit' to this particular 'write!'...

continuing applause for the initial 'penning' and many of the
rather interesting 'comment/reply' posts!

this makes me think of the days I spent on the campus, hand feeding the squirrels there. I even had names for them. And yes, they loved french fries.

I would like to see this penning "Spring" back to the top of the "P.I.P.-land" queue!

additional applause!!
