Todayโs Jumble haiku:
(The C-word demands a serious response. We have lost two little dogs to these predators. In response, weโve raised our fences and added spikes on top & to an alley window.
These seem to be keeping them out. Todayโs poem imagines a way to protect a pet rodent in a mouse houseโand it may just provide a way out, if youโฆ)
โOwn a Feaze*โ
A mouse is no match
for a coyote. Frame your
mouse window with spikes!

* Yes, itโs a word. Its etymology says itโs derived from the Dutch, โto fray.โ

Catch Me If You Can
Mouse in framed window
In plain sight of coyote
Found it easy to gloat.
"Visitors"
After breaking the window frame,
some critters came into the house.
They were both wild and tame,
and included a coyote and a mouse.
The owners an easy solution found:
they took both animals to the pound.
Well, it took me two tries, but your helpful hint helped me to get today's Wordle on the second one:

Many thanks, CanadianEh!
Glad you didn't feaze your haiku, Ol' Man Keith. It was just as enjoyable as all your others.
Hope your mouse survived, CanadianEh!. Maybe the coyote laughed and just left her alone.
Have a good afternoon, everybody.
Misty ~ Glad those invaders were captured, safe & well looked after.
Yes, the pound is the place for them. Especially if itโs an animal services facility that doesnโt โput them downโ within a set period of time.
CanadianEh! ~ Again, your piece has the right poetic air, the evocative tone that is more important than even the syllable count (which you have precisely right).
~ OMK
Iโm late getting back here after a day out of town.
OMK- I do remember your sad recounting of coyote rampages into your yard (Misty too).
I enjoyed your haiku, and Mistyโs poem (with the pound twist at the end that would have made a good haiku third line twist!)
Thanks all for your kind words. You are doing well on the Wordle, Misty.
Great to have you back, CanadianEh!, and thank you for your very kind comments. And get a good night's sleep!
