Mice and Me Based On Portrait No 8 L'Enfant Au Tablier Rouge, 1886 By Berthe Morisot

MICE AND ME by Jeanette Jones (01.11.2016) based on PORTRAIT NO 8 L'Enfant au Tablier Rouge, 1886 by Berthe Morisot MICE AND ME Inside my lonely room, I dream. Old man winter’s stamped his mark across the fields and mountain tops. The faint breeze through my window, allows a brush of his presence on my face, this makes everything ok. Scuffling across the floor, tiny mice whimper in the same sultry air; an old soul, mom calls me, for allowing them here, to dream in my space and share my air. To reach the sill, I allow them to climb my red ribbon, if they can catch it in the wind.

This brought me a smile. Thank you. :-) The title reminds me of John Steinbeck's noveletta. You have a unique way of writing...a fresh look at everything. Congrats on having your poem chosen by Debbie!
