Notes About The Poem

Listen to poem:

Wanted: Dead and Alive

WANTED: Dead and Alive
*A paradox ...

A bird soundly heard by my window
a mouse scurries about my floor
I wish they exchange places
with the mouse outdoors
and the bird indoors
so I acted upon it
owl hoots inside
traps outside
for pet food

Richard Lamoureux July 19, 2021 at 5:59 AM What a great photo. I also enjoyed your poem. I’m with Milt, I would prefer both outside my home. William Kelii Kekaula July 19, 2021 at 11:57 AM The (owl) heard forced the mouse indoors of this night owl's home.

L Milton Hankins July 15, 2021 at 2:26 PM I hope your solution worked, but I'm wondering what you would do with a bird (a hawk, I presume) inside? I'd be terrified of those talons! Good writing, William. William Kelii Kekaula July 15, 2021 at 4:11 PM What creatures events one who's a night owler, Milt, thanks for your insightful share my friend, Aloha!
