                           (Inspiring Pinterest Pin) This Poem Is A Metaphor For The Discovery Of The Abuse Of A Young Child By An Older Sibling.

she tricked him, she baited her, her soft steps, leaving no trail, when she ran off, the only thing they saw, was her, fuzzy bunny tail, her intentions were hidden, a clever disguise, masked beneath, her evil human eyes, she was determined, to take them all, the big ones, but especially the small, after all, who could argue, when the bunny wiggled her nose, a carrot for them, hidden beneath her clothes, mesmerized and unaware, sisters and brothers, she didn't care, all caught in her bunny lair, her cute disguise, surrounded her designs, spoiling them, she hid maggots and flies, hopping away, claiming no such tale, the bunny thinks, she covered her trail, but children grow up, no longer believing, in fairy tales so ugly, or a sister so deceiving. (Vickie Thayer Poetess 2018)

Excellent poem. Evil strikes in secret wearing a sweet disguise of misappropriated love. For the abuser see's love as the tool for destruction.
