About This Poem

Autumn Air

Lucky the cat and Al the mouse

Gathered to play on Halloween

Waltzed with leaves near the old farmhouse 

 Unlikely pals paint quite a scene

 Much from their friendship we can glean

 Joyful currents from autumn’s breeze 

 Moments like nature we must seize

 Love your enemies as your friends

 Let friendship dance like leaves from trees

 Eternal friendship never ends

    So, you are collecting the best samples and examples of the most difficult poetry forms here! Thanks for a perfect dizain, very pleasant rhymes and rhythm, indeed! Love, Hanitra

    Should have been lucky the mouse because the cat didn't eat him. Fun poem, we can all use a good friend.

    Hahaha! Sorry, Gwen, couldn't help interfering and "replying" to this witty reply from our friend Rick. Good questioning from the Questionku master! Do you appreciate this new Haiku variante, Gwen? I'm experimenting it and it really is a pleasant rhythm! I bet you would do wonderful work with it or around it! I hope you'll try it! :) Love, Hanitra
