You kept me guessing, especially because of the clues (or were there any?): the cat, the newspaper, the robins. :-)<br /><br />Greetings from London.A Cuban In Londonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16423293358605007539noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2508563923634392703.post-77645186359993190242012-12-02T14:05:33.760+00:002012-12-02T14:05:33.760+00:00Hank
Thanks for this cheering comment.

Ye...<b>Hank </b><br />Thanks for this cheering comment.<br /><br /><b>Brian </b><br />Yes, perception is all I think. I didn't start out with the idea of the house being a metaphor, but that certainly happened along the way.<br /><br /><b> Mary</b><br />Well, yes, maybe it was a crime scene. Now if only I'd thought of that...<br /><br /><b>Daydreamertoo </b><br />Yes, I guess that's how life seems to me. You're expecting bleak or you're expecting joy and suddenly you get the opposite. The two seem inextricably mixed somehow, almost like they're two sides of the same coin - to coin a cliche!<br /><br /><b>Susan </b><br />Well said! Yes indeed, I'll second that. Thanks for.<br /><br /><b>Helen </b><br />Thanks Helen - and actually I was figuring it out as I wrote. Helpful comment.<br /><br /><b>ND Mitchell </b><br />Hi, Good to have you visiting and good to have your comment. Thanks for saying.<br /><br /><b>Cloudia </b><br />Nice point. Thanks for making it.<br /><br /><b>Ygraine </b><br />Yes, I thought this was one where I could allow a measure of ambiguity.<br /><br /><b>The Elephant's Child </b><br />A brilliant <i>What if? </i> I like it a lot. (Wish I'd thought of it!) Thanks for give the old mind another jolt.<br /><br /><b>Carl </b><br />Yes, deliberately left the door open for other thoughts to wander in. Thanks Carl.<br /><br /><br /><br />Dave Kinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08430484174826768488noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2508563923634392703.post-48432876927951454952012-12-02T02:52:05.808+00:002012-12-02T02:52:05.808+00:00This was one of those poems where I am sure everyo...This was one of those poems where I am sure everyone reads there own stuff into it.
