Little mouse so quiet
In her corner
Little mouse nervous
in all that’s she’s heard
Little mouse does
As she’s told
Little mouse isn’t so
Very bold
Little mouse scared
Of the world
Little mouse dizzy
She does swirl
Little mouse cowers
From the bark
Little mouse wishes
For simple days to hark
Little mouse though
Has a roar
Little mouse deep
Inside at her core
Little mouse one day
Will so snap
Little mouse will be
A tiger, your hand to have
Little mouse don’t push her
Too far then
Little mouse is just shy
So be her friend
We all know a little mouse…

I'm a thinker, listener, a "question's pretty much everything" type of person. A seeker of knowledge, always restless, yet seeks the calm in life.
I love writing in all forms and am in the process of completing a number of ongoing projects. I love the craft of writing and the possibilities it holds. A magic carpet through the mind. I love pretty much all creative arts, music, film and theatre the leading ones.
Born in Hertfordshire in England, my family Irish, Welsh and English, I currently reside in Edinburgh, in Scotland. I'm drawn to coastal and mountain regions where I like to go to think and draw inspiration from. Ireland is a place that's dear to me, and I try to get back to see family and friends as much as possible.
My interests are wide and broad, too many to mention here, but history, archaeology, criminology, music and film are just some of those things I love.
I hope you enjoy my ramblings on here as that's what they are really. I'll let my fingers do the ''talking...''

Don’t we all know at least one ‘little mouse’ – you spoke so true.
I like this easy to read poem with a deeper message.
Thanks again Eric and thanks for the support and words. Yeah, Know a few ‘little mice’ myself bless them.
