Beautiful poem reminded me somehow of "2001 Space Odyssey". But I didn't get the point about the misspelling.
Thanks for the interesting link about the prairie dogs

The squirrel and the madrone three (a fable in the spirit of La Fontaine)
There once was a small wilful squirrel.
It used to fly into tantrums
every time he didn´t get what he wanted.
One day he paid a visit
to a local madrone three
to refresh himself
on its wonderful berries.
But there were no berries,
as it wasn't berry time.
When he was at the cusp
of his tantrums
he suddenly heard a voice
that spoke:
"Little squirrel learn from me
who are the madrone tree.
I am for ever seeking
Balance and equality.
Imagine if I flied into tantrus
every time life didn´t attend me
instead of growing steadily
in the direction of the sun?"
The squirrel scratched thoughtfully
its little head and went away
but not for ever.
It started to pay the madrone
regular visits
to hear its words of visdom.
And berries or not berries,
it never more
fell into tantrums.

The golden bowl
There once was a man
who possessed a golden bowl
and a fiddle.
One day his wife fell severely ill.
He filled his golden bowl with myrrh
and went on a long peregrination
to a saints shrine.
For survival he played his fiddle
which resonated in the whole town
Although his music wasn't avan -garde
people came from far
just to listen too it.
When he finally reached the shrine
he deposited his pot of myrrh
in front of it
and said a long prayer for his wife.
When he opened his eyes
The light of the sinking sun
touched his pot
and seemed to fuse
with the gold of the bowl.
When he reached home
his wife was well again.

The Spell of the Pearl
A long time ago
there lived a king
in the Reign of the Albatross.
His son was still
a small urchin
who wanted very much
an enchanted pearl.
The king sent out
one of his men
but he came back
empty handed.
a second servant
found only an old mast.
Finally the little boy
decided he would l
seek the pearl himself
even against the will
of his parents.
He wandered for three days
always in the direction
of the horizon.
He never reached the horizon .
But, on the third day
he found the pearl
in a small conch.
It seemed to be waiting
for him.
He took it home
and palace, reign and all people
became enchanted and disappeared.
the Reign of the Albatross.
was never heard of again
because that was the spell of the pearl.

Uncommon Trespass
The stars were aligned for an un-
common trespass - Astral projection
utilizing a deep blue obsidian crystal
of Bingöl origin - On arrival the wind
moaned through broken windows -
Shutters crashed, and curtains flapped
in a mansion derelict of spirits, living
or dead - Easy enough pickings for a
master thief with an old treasure map

Next: paperweight, grandfather clock, ink well, mice, gable, sycamore
Musings of a sycamore
Yea, I remember
The strike of the big grandfather clock
I could see through the gabled window
Making all the mice outside
scuttle into hiding.
And I remember more:
The grandfather himself
and his grandchildren,
the boy playing with grandpas paperweight,
the girl wanting desperately
to dip her chubby fingers
in the ink well.
They are all gone now:
clock, paper, people
The empty room remains shut
only the mice thrive
on human absence.
Sometime I´ll be gone too.
Next: woodpecker, fog, cumulus nimbus, earthworms, clash, entirely.

re: Bingöl... found a thefreedictionary,com encyclopedia note for this, which led me to wikipedia... then googled and found a sale for the blue obsidian that also showed its attributes :)
Wonderful poem from the perspective of the long lived sycamore tree ! :)
