Enamored by the Dormouse

Here's a link to my YouTube channel where I read my poetry. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rOGBCY2FM_c

I love it while
it sleeps--smiling,
wet with tea;
dreaming dormouse dreams.
I tickle its downy fur.
And it laughs and
moans softly.
I want to put it in
my pocket and
carry it everywhere;
take it out on
lonely autumn nights and
play with her until
she's exhausted,
relaxed and rested,
content and lost in my
fingers and in my heart.

Is believed that when we know how to show care and love to the smallest being, angel wings follow in our shadows. Might seem fanciful but gentle thoughts should never be thrown to the wolves. Such a gentle and tender words, my friend.

Hmmm...a dormouse? To me a dormouse is simply a rodent running around at night. However, you have placed it on a pedestal here. I enjoyed the personification. Unique work, Thomas. Well written. Lydi***
