How's that for a poem to accompany this image for my Animated Stills collection? To me, this looks just like a mask on a tree. Maybe it's a stretch, but enough for me to inspire this poem about a masquerade. I thought I'd turn this dreary image into something joyous and active. It hope you come away with a festive feeling.

Please note that here, I pronounce the word "Squirrel" in the Americanized vernacular as being a 1 syllable word as in "skewrl."

This poem is simply a set of abab rhymed quatrains. I added a one line envoy to reinforce the subject of my image. It is written in anapestic meter. To me, this anapestic meter is like waltz, rather than the march of iambic meter. It is a more graceful - da da dum da da dum da da dum, as opposed to the other's da dum da dum da dum.
For this poem I used interposed feminine and masculine rhymes, giving a syllable count of 10-9-10-9.
