An excerpt from Picaresque by David Hart

Picaresque by Dave Hart

Peek-a-booing
minion of verdant plains~

~Ligneous rover
of arborescent
columns~~

~Your twitching
hirsute tail~~

Scratchclawing
perfervidly
up and down~~~

Tickling trees' sides
into laughter~~~

Eyes ebony peering
from your skyward lair.

Pilose pirate
nibblemunching
your forsesty pelf~~

~Dainty adroit hands,
secreting away your cache
of daily treasures.
