Cat And Mouse. Poem by Annette Aitken
Cat And Mouse.
Cat and Mouse
Between the grass
he stealthily creeps
down on his hunkers
to have a peek.
Ears are tuned to every sound
nose is twitching, for scented ground.
As motionless he lies in wait,
hoping that you'd show your face.
Sits in readiness waits to pounce
on the unsuspecting mouse.
The little mouse climbs up to see
if danger may be nearing he.
With grace and poise, he leaps aloft
above the little mouse of course.
The little mouse let out a squeak
quickly leaping to his feet.
The little mouse knew all the tricks
first hide and seek, and then to peek.
A quick step right, then dashing left
he disappears, the cat's bereft.
The little mouse lets out a squeak (shouts)
come back another day, next week.
'The little mouse knew all the tricks first hide and seek, and then to peek. A quick step right, then dashing left he disappears, the cat's bereft.' this stanza was especially a lot of fun and the final stanza with an extra word in brackets was clever, really enjoyed this read :)
A successful piece.. Entertaining and relaxing. Give us more please
I couldn't decide whether to cheer for the cat or the mouse in this one, but I loved the ending! Another great poem!
A quick step right! ! Thanks for sharing this poem with us.
Nice poem and lovely to read. Reminds me of all the cats I've been fortunate to know over the years, they all seem to very different characters even when their brother and sister.
