the fight

is as fierce as the one I remember between my cat and an unfortunate field mouse. The difficulty in translation seems to actually aid the tone and cutting of this poem, aids it as art. Well done. Mark W.

lol

First I must thank you for passing of the error of mine to translation fault. Your comments did give me moments of joy to think your way and reread the poem. Think the last two lines are the culprits. In truth the poem was written on a picture link below of the contest. http://allpoetry.com/contest/2433301 In fact she is the 'man-eater' and I thought it best to treat her as a tiger meeting another male man-eater (here you can say women-eater) tiger. In love to really forget their cannibalistic needs. The last two lines were to really added to tell the reader when a mouse saw this union he was terrified, telling the cat.... Thanks for the comment I hope to think again and redo it to avoid people misconception. Thanks.

thank you for posting it!

sometimes even our misconceptions are educational as poetry is an art, and art is subjective. There alas is the boundary of language. I look forward to reading more of your work. God bless, Mark Wilson
