A Rabbit's Tale

The rabbit got lost, oh what to do? So he hunted to find rabbit brothers, like him, too. Into the deep forest he hopped. Almost run over by a fire truck! His tiny nose twitching for others just like him. He found huge deer and elk but no animals,small. Winter came, rabbit grew thinner. Too weak, he laid down by the frozen river. The snow like a welcomed,warm blanket came. Under the silvery moonlight. His nose lost all its color. Rabbit went quietly home! To be with his sisters and brothers! October 7, 2019

Hello Panagiota … sadly this is the tale of many a lost pet that has come to rely on its owner. The world outside is very dangerous indeed. Your verse is very telling Panagiota - Lindsay

a well told sad tale this was. It reminded me of the little match girl, but for a sweet animal!

Yours is a lovely narrative poem with such a sad ending, Panagiota. It reminds me of the rabbits in "Watership Down". ~ Best regards // paul

Hello Debra! Remember Romeo and Juliet? I meant it not to be cute. There are thousands of cute poems here. I have close to 800 poems.. You can see I am anything but in that genre. I don't moan about lost love either or the past. I wrote one about the Dance of Time~which I do not consider sad but realistic. Congratulations on having a heart to write a comment.
