What a make-over! You stand tall
You look new, proud and perfumed
Never would have thought. To think
we salvaged you from the jumble sale
(140 characters)
I thought I spied a
birdie up in there.
What a jumble in my mind
I have been stressed out
lately. Perhaps chasing
a mouse is a lot easier.

For Linda's hosting at GG's Succinctly Yours
week #221 for a Micro fiction not exceeding
140 characters and to include the word - jumble
and Mary's at PU's Poetry Pantry #256
These are great!
ReplyDeleteHow we try to interpret the inscrutability of felines.
ReplyDeleteThose cats are hard to convince.. We much rather have them go for mouse and rats, but they have to for the little birdies.
ReplyDeletea joy to read both of them...nice use of 'jumble'...
ReplyDeleteHaha! Perhaps but mouse is wise too. Either way it will be a challenge for the cat, Hank.
ReplyDeleteThat 140 controlled characters is a challenge I think.
I love these two pieces..and the image! un-jumbling the jumble can bring rewards ;)
ReplyDeleteI think a mouse would be easier to catch,smiles ~
ReplyDeleteLoved both the pieces - altogether exquisite :D
ReplyDeletefun pieces - I enjoyed the tone of both!
ReplyDeleteYou can find treasures at jumble sales sometime... Enjoyed your creativity in these words.
ReplyDeleteI like the second, with the persona and voice of the Cat. Funny. Thank you for your commentary on today's poem.
ReplyDeleteLove the jumble of the two when read together
ReplyDeleteTo think we salvaged you from the jumble sale... I think that's what my Mom said when she found me.....
ReplyDeleteP.S. Guess who's in my show today.
Had had a peek
Delete#1 looked slick
Hank
It was a massive task. I tell you I won't be doing anything like that for at least a year.
DeleteCan well imagine.
DeleteThe graphics especially
But it would have been
a great experience really
Pat must have employed
someone to help
To rightly sought
to go to great depth
Well done
For taking the plunge!
Hank
A massive task, but with spectacular results..amazing there Blue..
Deletelol the mouse would be less jumping, fun one. Never know what you can find from junk either
ReplyDeleteThe voice of the cat was great

ReplyDeleteAwesome! Witty and fun! I enjoyed these two verses, Hank!
ReplyDeletehaha - the second one made me smile..the cat better stay away from my birdie.
ReplyDeleteThese were a fun read! I wonder which would be easier to catch, the bird or the mouse?! I also like the pic too :)
ReplyDeleteA great write Hank, most enjoyable to read.
ReplyDeleteYvonne.
I really enjoyed these, quite amusing.
ReplyDeleteYou have a wonderful talent for crafting stories out of 140 characters :D I had no idea that there was a site out there that did 140 character poetry. It's my new obsession! Do you share any of these gems on Twitter?
ReplyDeleteNo Rose, Even though 140 characters is meant for Tweeter.
DeleteHank
The second one really made me chuckle :)
ReplyDeleteHa, how important to complete make-over at the right time... so to be able to spy the important someone...here's connection! Great, Hank! :)
