A Small Grey Mouse. Comments

Very humane of you to include an alternate ending... Brian

This is good. I can really feel I'm the mouse here. (10) Lizzy.

What comes to mind here Graham is the Barn Owl. nature has a weird way of keeping the population down/I realy felt for the mouse in this poem. A wonderful poem to enter into a childrens antholergy cheers Sylvie

I feel the little man's terror as he cowers under the leaves, and, whichever way it ends, life does go on. Lovely that you give us a choice of endings.

Thanks for the alternate ending :) I enjoyed this poem; it's a good one.
