cinquain poetry

No accommodation

double cinquain
Too much
banana love
has doomed this kitchen mouse;
his chosen way of life and mine
collide.

Scummy
drowning water
managed to soak my shirt.
Thus does the undermouse wreak his
revenge.

After a couple of weeks of trying, I was in the position of having to dispatch the rodent this morning. I really didn't like the sound it was making. And I did not take a picture, either. (Tue May 16 22:34:47 EDT 2006)
