The Country - Billy Collins Animated Poetry

Very nice animation! It is totally taking you along with the story, first from this man's perspective, then you gradually 'become' the mouse - untill at the end you all of a sudden realize you are NOT that mouse. You are the poor guy that lost his house. A classic way of grasping the reader and taking him into the story, and well executed!

Wow, the animation is great...such an innocent little mouse, such a deliberate and contrary man. The poem itself is just brilliant, calmly delivered in a cozy voice. Reminds me of smooth, rich hot cocoa that burns the hell out of your tounge.
