The Little Wood Mouse

The Yarrow Flower A Fairy Tail

Have you seen at Spring-time

many months ago

when the yarrow flowers lay

Like snow drifts at woods edge,

A fairy tickling a wood mouse?

A little mouse all whiskers and tail

Sitting on Yarrow flowers

Minding her thoughts.

A fairy is looking for fun

A tale is a ladder to laughter

these spring days are full of glee!

I promised you a story and found a poem instead.

Short, brief and wonderful poem

It was all borne out of your wonderful work. Thanks for the love/like shown.

I like your questions and how you think. Thank you again!

@reddust,
With my knowledge of poetry I can say this is pretty awesome. Moreover, the artwork. Looks like a fairy tale. Wonderful post and your great gift of talents revealed here my dear friend!

Cheers~

I know nothing about poetry, I need critical critique lololol, go ahead tear it apart. But saying that, tell me I am amazing too @guruasia🤪😂❤️

@reddust,
Amazing amazing amazing, you are truly amazing! A combination of talents made my friend reddust! That's how I feel about you and your great gifts!

Cheers~

You have outdone yourself with this art! I was waiting for the final result, but little did I know it will blow my mind off hihi! :) I love the bold outlines and the realistic fur of the mouse! Very cute and happy image. And the poem is cool, too! Yerrow as in yellow, right? It's old English?

I posted the finished piece a while ago and promised a story to go with it, but all that came out was a poem. Since I don't write poems I figured I would post it, something new to work with and lighten up my blog. Thank you @shinyforest.

you can write a poem too, thats goodness of you.

My first poem :P

wonderful poem @reddust <3 ,,, What do you think about my poem :p

Merry and Merry O Spring of the Year

Shone your follicle Days

After the winter and after the length of his frown

We show you a screen of your pride

And the breeze gave us a rainbow

Deviating from dreams.

Oh man, I bet you just ripped that one out of like it was nothing. I wish I could write like that!

Thank you for your sweet words, and I wish you more excellence @reddust

I struggle with writing, I admire wordsmiths or is it wizards? lolol

This is what I wrote, it is of Arabic poetry :p

I’ve read some master poets and philosophers from your many and diverse cultures...Rumi comes to mind. I like to study comparative religious philosophy of Sophia Perennis. This is how I learned about Sufi poetry. I know just a tiny-little bit.

Awesome! the mouse actually looks like my hamster, Lucy, i had as a child.

It's actually a Apodemus sylvaticus wood mouse that lives in most of Europes woodlands. lolol

Oh my, soooo cute! the name sounds like the mouse is a greek god lol. ;)

The Latin name is bigger than this wee mouse...hahaha

ehehehehe, and the mouse is like.. fuck! why do these humans over complicate everything, i'm just a mouse init?

Yeah we like to muck everything up...thinking if we name something we know all about it like we own it...sigh

Yeah i've wondered who the people are that come up with these long names for plants, animals, you know the really long names, or maybe language was just really long words back then i don't know. Anyway, i love your art friend.

So beautiful, you're a very talented person. I can't even write two lines of poetry))

My structure is awful but this is my first poem. You are very kind, but if I can write a little poem so can you @sadpotato😁

It's not about the structure but what comes from hearts. You're a very great human being that's why your poetry is great too.

You are welcome, it’s my delight to help 🙏

It my honor to be helped by you.
Hope you follow me back and have a good friendship..
Keep in touch @reddust.
Anyway,today is the last day for voting in that competition made by @dobartim.
I hope you'll vote for my entry.
Again,thank you so much

I like the playfulness here in both the painting and the poem, fun!!
btw, @reddust, I nominated you for the bnw photo challenge yesterday in my day 1 post ;-))). I'm finding this challenge SO much more fun than I expected!!

Okay.....thank you @natureofbeing😁🌀🤪

Good morning - wondrful poetry

You are the master poet, I’m just a humble student, thank you @dobartim

Congratulations, Is a great poem and the picture is so beautiful. ♥

Thank you @denissemata, my first Steemit poem!

Oooh I was initially looking forward to the story but the poem was honestly more fitting for this amazing illustration :). Thank you for taking the time to craft this all.

I may write a story later, but I have to write up a inventory list for the kids area at Scotfest this coming summer that I am setting up here in Tulsa. I needed to shake off the numbers in my head and a poem came out instead of a story!

A tail is a ladder to laughter

That sounds logical. :)

What an adorable picture to see in my Steemit feed. Your poem has me imagining spring amidst the snowy scenery here in the south.

Exactly, it is cold here in Tulsa and I've been writing reports all day....this was the perfect break!

Poetry works very well with the flower fairy I always thought poetry and artwork would compliment each other Well Done

I don't write poetry and now I am wondering why. Thank you @enjoywithtroy

I've seen this image on your site

Yes, this was a painting I did for a story but the story turned into a poem. I think I will start practicing poetry with some of my illustrations.

Ok good work

I just love this little guy. I also like that you chose Yarrow and also that you labeled it properly. I love yarrow, it always makes me think of late Summer and early Autumn. It grows wild here as well as I have some I grow on purpose. Lovely shades of burgandy and golds. Again, so CUTE!

Great idea of wood mouse and a better end result.
