Strange Little Mouse is a tale about finding a small critter in the backyard and was inspired by the word mouse and erinaceous (which means hedgehog family). Thanks for the 9 random words (in blue) provided by the people who played the twitter poetry game today:

Strange Little Mouse

One day as a child, I was on a mission
to bring home a most unique acquisition

He was no bigger than a bumblebee
digging in roots, around my tree

Appearing as an erinaceous like mouse
I brought him home inside my house

As small as he was inside my home
it must have felt like Sparta or Rome

A playful critter he was, he kept nibbling
fancying and biting at my new chatoyant ring

Magnetism of food, finally getting him still
I measured him against the length of a pencil

Though this story seems a slight unreality
It is told with truth and pure sincerity
