Rabbit Poems

Tooting Bec, Clapham and Morden are all in South London


A mole was driving the bus today
from Tooting Bec to Clapham
A mole was driving the bus today -
an extraordinary thing to happen!
Sightless, relentless, he monstered the roads
with a honk and an...Read More

I am the Flame
Red hot and dancing
Never the same
Sparks skipping and prancing 
I am the Flame

I breath like you 
Wood keeps me alive
I give you a clear view
Of what’s in the dark 
To help you survive
I start with a spark...Read More

The ceaseless beating of a drum,
fast marks the days ‘til we are done.
Our time will come, our time will come.

Listen, listen, can you hear it?
Growing louder as you near it,
as men of courage, cowering, fear it.

A distant, daunting, haunting hum,
vibrations...Read More

The ceaseless beating of a drum,
fast marks the days ‘til we are done.
Our time will come, our time will come.

Listen, listen, can you hear it?
Growing louder as you near it,
as men of courage, cowering, fear it.

A distant, daunting, haunting hum,

This is for all you trampled and forgotten
freezing in a hell not of your making
inching your way up the ethereal gangway
jockeying for rank and recognition
among the heavens the aristocracy
the drooling two headed priesthood 
cheap seat keepers of the pure flame
how...Read More

What timid lamb discerns I am trustworthy, drawing near? 
What deer could hear my message clear, "There's no need for alarm"?
What sigh could signify to butterfly, "My heart is warm"? 
What rabbit out of habit doesn't dash in mortal fear?
What...Read More

Wildcat
wanders about
among the wildflowers
searching for a tasty rabbit
hungry

Meat and potatoes and chicken will not do
Has to be beef and genuine Iowa-grown corn-fed too
Mashed potatoes not those flimsy flakes from a box
Gravy stirred by loving hands valuable as Fort Knox

Dessert can be cake if you cannot get Mom’s...Read More

a narrative with alliteration

Royal radio reviews the Rainbow Raffle Rally planned to raise rubles 
for the rugged racetrack recently recommended ‘round  Rybinsk Reservoir.

One rich ruler, who runs the Ragweed Railway resists with red-ribbon resolve. 
His rogue reaction to a...Read More

Little things in life are best of all,
As watching autumn leaves, snowflakes fall,
Or reading of Cinderella at the ball,
Or other legends that grew so tall-
My heart sings when robins call!

Church bells chime on Sunday morn;
In it, our hopes are born.
Who...Read More

“…Forever, is a long rapid jump How?, just one second, sometimes!
As a mortgage home, the house of thousand rooms just gets paid on interest multiplies as the Rabbit”

she stood elongated, straddling her memory like horseback-
wanting and needing more time to reset her mind - back to reality 

she wonders if dusk will bring another ebon night, 
or if tomorrow doesn’t arrive, will one second contrive?
what then shall...Read More

I’ve ventured deep down the rabbit hole before
Deep, beyond sleep, with vivid dreams
And nightmares to explore
Where the tree branches dance
Along side the open door
That I just stepped through willingly 
Without leaving Moore 

I’ve examined parts of myself from the outside...Read More

If I, your sister Jill, were Alice, and you, my brother Bill, were Rabbit, and if I asked you, "How long was forever", and you answered me with, "Sometimes just one second,* and if you, cousin Jonnie, said that you...Read More

With fantasy a little girl
   could fly away at will.
Or twitch her nose to cast a spell
   just to get a thrill.
Find holes to hide, where deep inside
   a rabbit was her friend.
Then try...Read More

Once there was a rabbit
who couldn't pronounce 'r.'
With such a language deficit
you can only go so far.
"In the wealm of womance
I warely had a second date,
so I had no other option
but to accept my lonely fate,
till the day I met...Read More

We Did Not Take Action to Start a War

of the U.S.

is turning into a gangster leader
threatening massive destruction 
on Iran and other countries
including destroying cultural sites

not too long...Read More

As the bold sun rises with grace
Sparse soft light stretches wide afar
Cross flower's sweet scented field's mace
Powder blue clouds hide night's Dog Star

Damp murmurs of sleepy birds heard
As the bold sun rises with grace
Stout brown rabbit in his hole stirred
While...Read More

It had been snowing paw prints 
and rabbit runs. Ice fell from me
in its own sharp-tongued language;
We got here by reading different maps.
We shot bolts and sprang locks,
eventually we trapped the same sky together.
Now we can say our names 
without...Read More

Muse 1 to Muse 2: "I wonder what it's like in the rabbit burrow"
Muse 2 replied: "Stand a little closer. I'll be happy to kick you in"
Muse 1 with trusting innocence: "Can I let you know tomorrow?"
Muse 2 just rolled...Read More

They say that I'm prolific
Whatever does that mean?
It makes me sound like a rabbit
Bob-bobbing in a pretty scene.

It makes me feel terrific
And not an old has-been,
When I find a word I grab it
Towards rhyming I often lean.

And here I go...Read More

Good old Tony Abbott*
Has leapt higher than a rabbit,
Defending his mate-in-Christ Cardinal Pell,
Despite dear George's nasty smell.
