A Cliche

is what we also say

when we're too lazy

to find another way

and so we say

warm as toast

quiet as a  mouse

slow as molasses

quick as a wink

Think.

Is toast the warmest thing you know?

Think again, it might now be so

Think again, it might be even snow,

a lazy shawl of new-fallen snow!

Listen to that mouse go!

Scutting and clawing, nibbling and pawing

A mouse can speak of only a squeak

Is a mouse the quietest thing you know?

Think again, it might not be so.

Think again, it might be a shadow

quiet as a shadow

quiet as growing grass

quiet as a  pillow or looking glass

Slow as molasses

quick as a wink

before you say so,

take time to think!

Note: Here is a poem i came across and judging by my style of writing must have been about 5-6..i don't remember writing it and not even sure it's mine... but must be as i wrote songs and poems from 3..shit, rhyming again  lol

it was with some papers that my grandmother had given me from when i was little and this one was evidently thrown away and she saved it.. seems as if a rough draft. i would have focused and questioned each and every line....so perhaps it was simply a rough draft...
