To the tiny
Grey mouse,
I put out grain
For you.
It is not poison
For I don’t mind—
Sharing life
With you.
Here’s part of a blanket
For a warm bed—
The Nights are
Growing cold.
But please eat your grain
And not nibble my food—
Little one
We both must live…

Some of us laugh
Some of us cry
Some of us smoke
Some of us lie
But it's all just the way
that we cope with our lives...
If Curiosity
offed the cat, it could
also be fatal to non-felines.
Lured by the look lurking
in your eye, I wish that
your smile would stop
murdering me.

Aquamarine frock with sparkly lace,
Displayed to be cherished,envied and admired,
But those with empty pockets, too stared,
And the little eyes silently cried.
Leaping and hopping like a frog now, but still have a long way to go before I get crowned as "King Frog"!
Like a Closet Alcoholic
I love you, but
I don't want anyone
to know.
Especially you.
you cannot hide
the redolence of
love and musk
no matter what
sooner or later
the world will
come to know !

OMG, how awesome in a teeny bottle like this! "Lured by the look lurking" grabbed me. Love it, Aunty!
Our task must be to free ourselves by widening our circle of compassion to embrace all living creatures and the whole of nature and its beauty

Aww...I can't quite pinpoint why, but this touched me.
I declare after all there is no enjoyment like reading! How much sooner one tires of anything than of a book! When I have a house of my own, I shall be miserable if I have not an excellent library.
Jane Austen, Pride and Prejudice
We wore white gloves
And laced pinafores
With fur lined bonnets
That were long since put away
We walked
Hand and hand
Through black, uncaring streets
Three miles, in darkness
To the cracked concrete steps
Where they took pity on us
Because we were young
And so, so lost
But,
Hand in hand,
We were not alone

I have seen the moment of my greatness flicker,
And I have seen the Eternal Footman hold my coat, and snicker,
And in short, I was afraid.

" 'Yes,' I said, as though carrying on a discussion, 'and amongst other things you dreamed foolishly of a certain butterfly. . .' "
-- Lord Jim, Joseph Conrad
I look in the glass
and smile at the unknown girl
who tries to be me
Our task must be to free ourselves by widening our circle of compassion to embrace all living creatures and the whole of nature and its beauty

U do have a hand for haikus, lady! This is beautiful!

...the smell of flowers through metal labyrinths.
... Mine are eyes that know
only how to stare
and seek more....

Aw, Kiz Paws, thanks for this:
<<Lured by the look lurking" grabbed me. Love it, Aunty! >>
but your auntie is addicted to alliteration!
Here is a poem so small
you went right by
without noticing it!
In the cold we stood
Eyes in contact
Lips blue
Waiting
For something
The slightest movement
To signal our frozen thought
this is simply beautiful !
