FROM LINDA:  This post is part of Just Jot it January, and the prompt word, “cinnamon,” is brought to us by Tessa K. Check out her blog here!

No idea how I could have missed this JusJoJan prompt, when cinnamon toast is a favorite comfort food.  So I’m late…but not to worry, I was reminded by one of my neighboring nutty squirrels, whose coloring is cinnamon…

Nutty neurotic squirrel

races back and forth on fence

periodically pauses to stare

into my west window…

what is she hoping for?

friendship?

mental health advice?

(my neuroses offer

nought to share)

more nuts?

I shake my head

“sorry, Cinnamon

I’ve none to spare|”

but don’t fret, I’m sure

you hid some somewhere…
