neigh of neighbors

busy husband beavering
with wood in a back shed
mothers catting back and forth
to catch young kits for bed
grandma rabbiting about
in garden’s warm black dirt
brothers squirrel round a tree
till one falls and gets hurt
sisters lark on swingset
sing songs with silly words
wee early morning’s quiet
except for beetling birds

Sarah’s poetics prompt to use animal nouns as verbs…i had fun with rhymes as well 🙂
