Mice

inspired by the Steinbeck novel, of course.

of mice and men

so fond of where I could be

where we could be

 

no more stagnant water

one last travel

I was told we'd make it

and I would picture

something beautiful

 

the closest person to my heart

only knew of my dreams

after harming someone,

they pursue my end

but where do I start?

 

in awe of his wife,

I demand affection

but I am modest

 

I break his hand

that was not my intention,

I am honest

 

he knew it was best

to rest his closest friends eyes

instead of watch them

dull out, longing to be like

birds in the skies

 

I am looking peace

and digesting this

with great health

 

and although he took my life

it was his greatest journey

I will thank him when he visits,

when life gets lonely

Excellent work. The flow and cadence of the piece reminds me a great deal of walt whitman. You've done well to sum up the etire story in a very lyrical way. Again, Top Notch work.
