Mouse In The House

April 20, 2011

Mouse in the house
Trapped in fear.

Deer mouse in the house
Leg held in a trap
No struggle is shown
Only big eyes show fear.

Hanging on for dear life
As I carry him up to outside
To release and let go.

A second chance for this guy
Use it well
Don’t come back in.

Next time, who knows
The struggle
You may not win.

~ Patrice
