Let’s write poetry together!
When it comes to partnership, some humans can make their lives alone – it’s possible. But creatively, it’s more like painting: you can’t just use the same colours in every painting. It’s just not an option. You can’t take the same photograph every time and live with art forms with no differences.
–Ben Harper (b. 1969)

A fun romp or run with these mice! A game of cat and mouse with terrible consequences…

You won’t believe this but today I was thinking about this form but I couldn’t get to the name.
You’ve done one before
And I loved it.
I can feel you had much fun doing this blitz .
Mice play when the cat’s away
Lol, that is an old saying
As kids we were always warned โ ๏ธ
In this way.

Gorgeous mouse work.
What a merry chase of a poem, like the classical music track on a Tom & Jerry toon. ๐
Makes me wonder: Is the free association of words, written by a poet within a poetic structure; like a Rorschach ink blot dripped by an abstract expressionist painter? ๐
๐ค๐๐ป CES ๐๐ป๐ค ~ it’s much like that
This is brilliant David! ๐๐๐๐ Lot of fun and expertly done. ๐๐๐๐ I’m sensing a theme though running through the poem, nay scurrying more like! ๐๐
