Just had to write about this happening which
delighted me in Devon a few days ago.
Took my own pictures but could not
wait to set them on line. Hope you enjoy.
The commenting on this verse is not closed by me.
Hope the problem can be sorted soon Tom.
Am updating the poem as you suggested Tom - -
here goes - -hope it works.......... thanks - Fay.
Quivering Boldness.
A quiver of boldness coated in furred
Courage minutely pawed at the short grass
As a sunny day shone on a stirring
Of babiest mouse-life at my feet, fast
Yet unable to see, newborns on a spree
Posed for pictures and nibbled on cake
Like little pro's, the three unfailingly
Opened miniature mouths to eat more, quaking
With squeaky delight this so rarely seen
Sight stayed until, to our disbelief, Mum
Came to usher them home to bed between
Sun-warmed stones, safely holed; I had begun
To doubt what my eyes had encountered when
Out for a moment popped a tiny snout again.
a tiny snout saying goodbye so sweet fay
A delightful write on your little furry friends Fay...and the picture is super too
I once had a mouse family living in an old stone wall in my garden and this delightful poem brought back such happy memories! Thanks Fay! :) kath xxx
My daughters and I adored your poem and the picture. "That's living in England, isn't it?" said my youngest. We just get boring giraffes to look at here, you see :) [Message back where it belongs, thanks again for this gem, Fay.]
Ah - everything back in control now - - the comments are being allowed through - thanks Tom and thanks for messaging me on this verse Kerry and Carol and Bob Blackwell and others who enjoyed the read.
Hey, problem sorted. This is such a beautiful piece capturing a furry friend ! Caught my eye as this morning I found a hedgehog in my pond...too late..sob. Maggie x
