Tree Squeak
Kingdom: Animalia
Location found: New England
These little squirrel-like creatures inhabit the trees of New England, living on berries and fruit. Since their skin is bark-colored, they're almost impossible to see. In addition, they wrap themselves tightly around tree-trunks, concealing themselves further. But they're quite easy to hear. Walk around in the woods and it's almost impossible not to notice their high-pitched cries. When a strong wind is blowing they get especially excited and squeak at each other even more loudly. At such times, the locals are fond of saying, "The tree squeaks are making quite a racket today." Tree Squeaks are usually quite placid and pose no threat to humans. However, after extended dry spells they have been known to become aggressive.

HOAX HAIKU

Write a haiku about the Tree Squeak, and submit it in the comments. If I like it, I'll post it above.

The definition of a haiku: a short, three line poem. The first line has five syllables, the second seven, and the third five. Examples here, here, and here.
