__One of the charmers of our summer pond-life, the chipmunks, always provide evidence of their surprising intellect, and leave us... smiling at their antics. But one fellow last summer, failed to solve this 'carry away' dilemma... the 'stuffing' of his cheeks. (chips?)

That was so sweet! Nicley done :)
HAHAHA, It must be wonderful to see chipmunks in the wild.
These aren´t a native species over here.
I really also love your descriptions of the Hummingbirds, that´s a little bird i never saw in nature only from Tv and photos.
Loved it! And love chipmunks! They are pretty clever creatures.
well caught (I love them I remember seeing them running around the old mining town of Calico)

I love this...poor dear, I'll keep it safe somewhere for him, do tell what flavour, I love the fries and gravy, it's delish
Well, this time I have to confess that have no clue what chipmunks is (I mean, I know that it's an animal, even know its Polish name, but haven't seen it!), but even thoug love your poem:)
Lieber Magyar,
wieder toll gelungen dieses Haiku...es gefällt mir sehr, sehr, sehr...
herzlichst, Rachel
__Kathy and I favor the chipmunks at our pond. We leave a dish of sunflower seeds, and the little rascals stuff their cheeks full, run off to their underground lair and add the seeds to their 'winter cache.'
__Last summer, with an empty dish, this little guy decided on a vagrant potato chip, but when he tried to stuff it into his cheek, the 'tater chip just crumbled... twice. After the cost of our laughter, I filled the seed dish.
__Thanks, friends! _m
how cute, I remember the chipmunks from my long ago visit to California, such lovely animals
