Howard Kerr September 28, 2025 at 5:55 AM Well done, Anne-Lise, Congratulations on your win with this clever composition. You deserved it Howard

Charlotte Puddifoot September 27, 2025 at 8:43 AM it's not that easy to write an animal poem in such a short syllabic form, but you did a good job with this..hope you have a nice weekend too :)

Howard Kerr September 24, 2025 at 10:41 AM Anne-lise, Your descriptions are immaculate and they sustain the reader to the very last word. Intriguing imagery and credible word choice. I wish you the best with this. Thank you for your comment on my work Howard

Sara Kendrick September 24, 2025 at 4:03 AM Ahh!! I like that animal. I would guess that you better leave them alone in their habitat or get some really serious bites. Thanks for sharing this one with us. Sara K

Joseph P. DiMino September 23, 2025 at 8:44 PM Beautiful little critter...though mice probably think different. What the heck, who cares what mice think?! Great descriptive words. Good luck with contest.

Victor Buhagiar September 23, 2025 at 4:45 AM I'm not familiar with these spies. Good to catch mice. Anne-Lise Andresen September 23, 2025 at 5:37 AM - In winter they change their fur color... they turn white... but always the black tail tuft, Victor :) - hugs

CayCay Godwin September 22, 2025 at 10:09 PM That cute dude must be extremely fast, he looks so cute and, yes, hyper-fast. Your well written words taught and reminded me about a creature I have only a vague recollection about. Anne-Lise Andresen September 23, 2025 at 1:57 AM - Moves like lightning, CayCay ... many thanks for your comment :) - hugs

Valsa George September 22, 2025 at 9:32 PM It looks beautiful, but haven't seen it even in a zoo. I wonder what it does when angry. A great entry for the contest. All the best dear Anne! Hugs... Anne-Lise Andresen September 23, 2025 at 1:52 AM - When it's angry it sizzles ... I can see them close to where I live in nature, so fun to watch :) - They are shy but curious ... if I whistle they come forward :) - hugs

sara Etgen-Baker September 22, 2025 at 5:17 PM not familiar with the Hermine...looks kind of cute...best wishes with this contest entry. hugs, Sara Anne-Lise Andresen September 23, 2025 at 1:54 AM - They are very cute, Sara :) - Funny animals to watch :) - hugs

Abdullah Alhemaidy September 22, 2025 at 1:22 PM Stoat (Mustela erminea) or ermine! It loves cold places, rabbits and hares. Interesting :-) Hugs ~ AA Anne-Lise Andresen September 23, 2025 at 1:59 AM - I've seen it catch mice... but it probably eats a lot of other things... thanks for your comment, A.A. :) - hugs
