Notes About The Poem

For Spring Forward Poetry Contest

Spring Hunting

In springtime the rabbits in our canyon
                                  Produce with prolific abandon
                                      Our dogs take up chase
                                     To hunt down post haste
                               But never can catch up or bag one.

I had one of mine drag in a baby bunny...not a pretty sight...probably harder to catch in the open canyon...excellent limerick.... Hugs Tim

Yikes! Sometimes there have been bunnies in our yard, too. But the dogs haven't managed to catch one yet!

It is funny to see the dogs go at it! In vain, of course! :)

I can just picture a couple of dogs chasing after hundreds of rabbits without any luck. Good limerick! Love, Kim

Thanks, Kim. It's true! Those bunnies are a lot faster than my dogs, that's for sure! :)

Thanks, Jan. I always have to be on the alert in case the dogs break loose from me....happens every spring!
