spit, mixed with dirt – muddy words flow
Faint-heart
Little mouse quakes and shivers
Little mouse twitches her whiskers
Little mouse watches from the dark corner under the coffee table
Her heart stirs
Her heart goes pitter-patter
Her heart nearly bursts within her breast
She sees what she wants
She sees the path clearly
She sees the most delectable morsel
Little mouse peers about her
Little mouse waits patiently
Little mouse learns bravery as soon as the sun goes down
Her paws move swift
Her paws go pitter-patter
Her paws nearly scrabble and skitter
She creeps ‘round the corner
She creeps up the bedpost
She creeps ‘til she finds what she wants
Little mouse nibbles
Little mouse washes her whiskers
Little mouse –SNAP–
….learns a lesson about stealing something that doesn’t belong to her

That was AWESOME! I’ve had a battle with a rather inventive little mouse lately, and I’m waiting for the big snap. 😉

I used to have a pet mouse. He was white with red looking eyes.

Awww cute! I actually like mice and voles. I think they’re cute. Though… this poem isn’t -actually- about a mouse 😉

Flowers that aren’t so, then mice that aren’t so. What is really real, and what is isn’t isn’t?
