Notes About The Poem

vera the mouse - Bing Images

- Mindful - Pleiades M -

Mice arrived in my house
Maybe you are afraid 
   My aunty eat grilled mice
   Must say that sounds nasty
   Mickey Mouse dinner ... no
Mild hands will protect you
More courageous than most

I enjoyed this cute Pleiades, Anne-Lise! It made me smile. Can't say that eating grilled mice appeals to me, but I do think mice are cute - especially cartoon mice. Congrats on your 2nd place win! Blessings, KIm

I like the poem as a good read, but it needs a little seasoning... what goes with grilled mice? Some wine would be nice. A fun piece of poetry, Emile.

A funny - but slightly disturbing - piece, Lisa :). Thematically reminds me of Roald Dahl!! Best of luck in the contest. Regards, John.

I absolutely hate mice. I f there's one there's 4 more somewhere else. I had to deal with that twice when my neighbors started to renovate their homes. Your poem though, I do like. Good luck in the contest!
