THE TALE OF THE SMART MOUSE

The cat took the mouse away
And sings: - Do not be afraid, baby.
Let's play for an hour
Cat and mouse, dear!
frightened little mouse
Answers her awake:
- In cat and mouse our mother
She didn't tell us to play.

Mur-mur-mur, - the cat purrs, -
Play a little, my friend. -
And the mouse answered her:
- I have no desire.

I would play a little
Just let me be a cat.
You, cat, even for an hour
Be a mouse this time!

The cat Murka laughed:
- Oh, you smoky skin!
Whatever you call
A mouse cannot be a cat.

Mouse Murke says:
- Well, then let's play blind man's blind man!
Blindfold your eyes with a handkerchief
And catch me later.

The cat is blindfolded
But looks from under the bandage,
Let the mouse run away
And again, the poor thing - grab it!

He says to the cunning cat:
- My legs are tired
Give me a little please
I have to lie down and rest.

Okay, said the cat.
Rest easy, shorty
Let's play and then
I'll eat you, my dear!

A cat - laughter, a mouse - grief ...
But he found a gap in the fence.
He doesn't know how he got through.
There was a mouse - but disappeared!

The cat looks to the right, to the left:
- Meow-meow, where are you, baby? -
And the mouse answered her:
- Where I was, I'm gone!

He rolled down the hill
Sees: a small mink.
An animal lived in this mink -
Long, narrow ferret.

sharp-toothed, sharp-eyed,
He was a thief and a creep
And it used to be every day
Stole chickens from the villages.

Here came the ferret from the hunt,
The guest asks: - Who are you?
Kohl fell into my hole,
Play my game!

In cat and mouse or blind man's blind man? -
The little mouse says nimble.
- No, not blind. We ferrets
We love corners.

Well, let's play, but first
Let's consider, perhaps:
I am an animal
And you are an animal
I am a mouse
You are a ferret
You are cunning
And I'm smart
Who is smart
He got out!

Stop! - the ferret shouts to the mouse
And runs after him
And the mouse - right into the forest
And climbed under the old stump.

Squirrels began to call the mouse:
- Come out to play burners!
“I have,” he says, “
Without a game, the back is on fire!

At this time along the path
There was an animal worse than a cat,
It looked like a brush.
It was, of course, a hedgehog.

And a hedgehog was walking towards
All in needles, like a dressmaker.

The hedgehog shouted to the mouse:
- You won't get away from hedgehogs!
Here comes my mistress
Play tag with her,

And with me - in leapfrog.
Come out soon - I'm waiting!

And the mouse heard it,
Yes, I thought and did not come out.
- I do not want to leapfrog, -
I'm on pins and needles!

Long waited for a hedgehog with a hedgehog,
And the mouse is quiet
On the path between the bushes
Slipped - and was like that!

He ran to the edge.
Hear the frogs croaking:
- Guard! Trouble! Qua-qua!
An owl is flying towards us!

The mouse looked: it rushes
Whether it's a cat or a bird
All pockmarked, crochet beak,
Feathers are variegated upright.

And the eyes burn like bowls, -
Twice as much as a cat.

The mouse lost its spirit.
He huddled under the burdock.

And the owl is getting closer, closer,
And the owl is lower and lower
And screams in the silence of the night:
- Play, my friend, with me!

The little mouse squeaked: - Hide and seek! -
And set off without looking back
Hiding in the cut grass.
Do not find his owl.

The owl searched until morning.
I couldn't see in the morning.
Village, old, on an oak
And the eyes of loops and loops.

And the mouse washed the stigma
No water and no soap
And went to look for his home,
Where were mother and father.

He walked, walked, climbed the hill
And below I saw a mink.

That's a happy mouse-mother!
Well, hug the little mouse!
And sisters and brothers
They play mouse and mouse with him.

Great about verses:

Poetry is like painting: one work will captivate you more if you look at it closely, and another if you move further away.

Little cutesy poems irritate the nerves more than the creak of unoiled wheels.

The most valuable thing in life and in poetry is that which has broken.

Marina Tsvetaeva

Of all the arts, poetry is most tempted to replace its own idiosyncratic beauty with stolen glitter.

Humboldt W.

Poems succeed if they are created with spiritual clarity.

The writing of poetry is closer to worship than is commonly believed.

If only you knew from what rubbish Poems grow without shame... Like a dandelion near a fence, Like burdocks and quinoa.

A. A. Akhmatova

Poetry is not in verses alone: ​​it is spilled everywhere, it is around us. Take a look at these trees, at this sky - beauty and life breathe from everywhere, and where there is beauty and life, there is poetry.

I. S. Turgenev

For many people, writing poetry is a growing pain of the mind.

G. Lichtenberg

A beautiful verse is like a bow drawn through the sonorous fibers of our being. Not our own - our thoughts make the poet sing inside us. Telling us about the woman he loves, he delightfully awakens in our souls our love and our sorrow. He is a wizard. Understanding him, we become poets like him.

Where graceful verses flow, there is no place for vainglory.

Murasaki Shikibu

I turn to Russian versification. I think that over time we will turn to blank verse. There are too few rhymes in Russian. One calls the other. The flame inevitably drags the stone behind it. Because of the feeling, art certainly peeps out. Who is not tired of love and blood, difficult and wonderful, faithful and hypocritical, and so on.

Alexander Sergeevich Pushkin

- ... Are your poems good, tell yourself?
- Monstrous! Ivan suddenly said boldly and frankly.
- Do not write anymore! the visitor asked pleadingly.
I promise and I swear! - solemnly said Ivan ...

Mikhail Afanasyevich Bulgakov. "The Master and Margarita"

We all write poetry; poets differ from the rest only in that they write them with words.

John Fowles. "The French Lieutenant's Mistress"

Every poem is a veil stretched out on the points of a few words. These words shine like stars, because of them the poem exists.

Alexander Alexandrovich Blok

The poets of antiquity, unlike modern ones, rarely wrote more than a dozen poems during their long lives. It is understandable: they were all excellent magicians and did not like to waste themselves on trifles. Therefore, behind every poetic work of those times, a whole Universe is certainly hidden, filled with miracles - often dangerous for someone who inadvertently wakes dormant lines.

Max Fry. "The Talking Dead"

To one of my clumsy hippos-poems, I attached such a heavenly tail: ...

Mayakovsky! Your poems do not warm, do not excite, do not infect!
- My poems are not a stove, not a sea and not a plague!

Vladimir Vladimirovich Mayakovsky

Poems are our inner music, clothed in words, permeated with thin strings of meanings and dreams, and therefore drive away critics. They are but miserable drinkers of poetry. What can a critic say about the depths of your soul? Don't let his vulgar groping hands in there. Let the verses seem to him an absurd lowing, a chaotic jumble of words. For us, this is a song of freedom from tedious reason, a glorious song that sounds on the snow-white slopes of our amazing soul.

Boris Krieger. "A Thousand Lives"

Poems are the thrill of the heart, the excitement of the soul and tears. And tears are nothing but pure poetry that has rejected the word.
