"a cat and mouse" poets united poetry pantry #14/sunday scribblings #238 curious

“Curiosity killed the cat, satisfaction brought him back”

You see the look in their eyes
While walking down the street

A measure of existence
Time and space are relative

I am curious

Like a cat looking in the cupboard
Whiskers and claws
All the while the mouse is hiding
Behind its protective wall

Curiosity

Never finding one …

  1. Curiosity is a good quality most of the time, I think. It makes for an interesting life (such as a cat's) Even if one doesn't find the answers.

  2. Mary,
    Oh, it can be a good thing, if used constructively. Answers, are we not all looking for those.
