Greetings, Thomas,
The great procrastinator as always, means well but the cats know better - I\'ll Hoover the carpet before I\'ll sit at my desk. The mouse in the top hat just might be the muse he was waiting for or the shadow of one. Another wonderful passage of poetry from your good self. You never fail in catching the reader\'s interest, a wonderful gift that you share with us all. Thank you very much.
Wishing you good health,
Tony.

Thomas, I absolutely loved this! Funny, painfully human, and surprisingly moving. And that ending gave me a good laugh! What a delightful way to confront something that can be genuinely terrifying. πΉπ€ππ―οΈπ¦ββ¬

The Man has dreams. Some act on these. Some don\'t. He seems to be unsure of his abilities.
A fine Poem.

Displacement activity writ large. Is it possible to ridicule fear as the top hatted mouse, or even wise? I as usual enjoyed the journey your write allowed me, Thomas.

This is a sad one, surely life is more than this.
The blank page doesn\'t lie, and for the now, the potential is lost.
Someday might be a long way off, and the carpet will still look the same.
Will the fear fade, only he knows.

Yes what is that the cats know that he does not? The need for being something more than what is. \"The carpet looks no different when he\'s finished\" A metaphor for effort spent with no results and the portend of a life spent. The last line seals it
\"He gets up, bows,
and does a slow waltz
with his shadow.\"
The mouse with a top hat facing fear in the only courageous way he knows how to the only audience there himself. Lovely my friend.

Tony Grannell said:
Hello, Thomas,
The watcher in the window. Outside autumn creeping there leaves into winter, squirrels still active on the verdant lawn, nature as it should be. The artificial flowers in the vase on his side of the window. What would life be like if I was made of plastic whilst Van Gogh stairs into his soul. A brillant portrait of a poem in that lovely style of yours. Excellent, my friend.
All the best,
Tony.

A striking meditation on artificial beauty and the cost of permanence, ending in an unsettling existential question.

Such deep existential thought my friend. The picture, the plastic flowers frozen in perpetuity. The thought of keeping something alive that had neve lived a paradox and one of modern life. How do we keep a person alive that has never lived. The line that struck hardest was the last \"And I wonder what it would be like to never have been born.\" This reverses the paradox how can one wonder if one is never born. Very nice my friend

Hello, Thomas,
The beauty in simplicity as the poem meanders through your day with your furry muse. Relaxing and content, soothing the reader into the same tranquility. The power of a feline\'s charisma. Just lovely.
Fond regards,
Tony.

There\'s a lot to be said about the runt of the pack, they need to be smarter and quicker to survive.
And as you say, trust needs to be earned, but once it is, you\'ve got a stayer.
