Shadow Mouse
.
He flattened himself, slid under the door,
Pancake-wise,
Then reinflated on the other side.
He followed the angle ‘tween wall and floor
As around the edge of the room he crept,
A little gray ghost with his nose ahead,
A dark silent shadow melting, melding
Shape-shifting,
Almost invisible as he progressed
Towards the room where the food was kept.

The idea for this one came from Brian Miller’s cranial mouse nest, lol!

This is gorgeous
“Pancake-wise”, “shape-shifting” – such perfect expression
I couldn’t believe my eyes, BB. I saw him quite by accident and it was just as Nancy describes – as if he had rubber bones!
Oh, this is priceless, adee. I so enjoyed.
I’m so glad you liked it, AD.
in slips the mouse quiet and on his mission..where they can slip into as well is pretty crazy at times…
Yes, Brian, the tiniest sliver of a crack, and he’s in boots and all! Amazing!
That’s exactly what they do . . . rubber bones!
Such an apt expression, Nancy! Cute little thing, ha! Until I discovered he’d been into my cupboards and when I lifted the new bag of flour the bag came away in my hands, leaving the flour behind on the shelf. Also he had made perfectly round holes from one cupboard to the next.
Nice
Thanks, Nic! Are you still on holiday? Haven’t seen you for a while
Those opening lines are beautifully descriptive of the way they seem to do that!
Thanks, Col. I watched one once and it was amazing.
This is an absolute beauty Denise. WoW! Really wonderful description as fluent as the flow of the mouse.
I love ‘flow of the mouse’ – that’s just how it was, smooth… Thanks, SuNaMu, for the kind words. I hope you have been and are keeping well.
Yes, Denise. I am picking up. I will be in my own Den in India this March. I expect things settle better. Thank you.
I am happy your health is improving and pray that it will continue to do so, SuNaMu. Thank you for continuing to encourage me.
