Bugs Bunny
Bugs Bunny loves his carrot snack,
He tricks his foes and never looks back.
“Eh, what’s up, doc?”—his teasing cue,
A clever rabbit who’s quick and shrewd too.
Poet’s Note:
Inspired by Bugs Bunny’s famous 1940 line, “Eh, what’s up, doc?”.

Have You Ever Seen a Rabbit Wearing Glasses?
A rabbit's life, tragically upended
because of the company he befriended -
where, once, happiness had brimmed,
he grew old, and his eyesight dimmed.
His brain slowed down like molasses.
'Twas then I saw him wearing glasses.
So, pitifully, he did implore,
but the carrot said, "don't darken my door".
In the end, he took the dead man's walk,
led

Down the rabbit hole
In Wonderland's twilight, where shadows play,
Alice chased a rabbit, down a curious way.
The hole yawned wide, a vortex in the ground,
She tumbled in, and her world spun around.
Down, down she fell, through swirling lights,
A kaleidoscope of colors, a wondrous sight.
The air was thick with whispers, a gentle hum,
As she pierced the veil, and entered the

Magic Rabbit
A funny-looking bunny dropped by the other day
black white and brown fur a stray who'd lost his way
and
he let me hand-feed him with carrot tops
and spinach leaves but that is where familiarity stops
for
neither petting nor patting would he permit
this half-wild half-tame non-cottontail misfit
and when
with leaps and bounds he hopped while binking
around the garden it got

run rabbit run
run run run run run the rabbit thinks
frightened nerves sitting on their brinks
knowing his safe bet is a place to hide
he slips under a bush, lying on his side
where did he go? wonders the owl where did he go?
he swoops close to the bush, and flies really slow
the rabbit is quiet, stops breathing almost
not wanting

I'm Magic
When just a lad, I thought I was magic,
Doing a trick can sometimes be tragic.
The bird sang the wrong song,
The rabbit was long gone,
When they booed, I got very dramatic.

In the Heart of the Forest
In Manipur's lush forests so bright,
Khamba and Nongban ventured with delight,
Seeking blooms to adorn with care,
An altar to Lord Thangjing, their hearts were sworn to share.
Through dense woods, Khamba's path did wind,
Wildflowers' scent and earth's damp design,
Birds sang sweet, leaves rustled free,
A waterfall's roar, a sight to see.
A towering tree, with orchids so fine,
Hanging

It ain't no fun, When the rabbit got the gun
Not its your turn my pretty
to prick your finger on the blade
taste the repercussions of what you have set to cause on my fate
now it will reflect back to you
in the form of time On every watch, every ticking clock
In every failed friendship, in every loss.
You shall forever remember my name
you shall forever remember this

A Broken Soul
Oh, my little angel, looking into your
eyes wasn’t easy as you always had
them closed,
Happy and peaceful as you enjoyed
your afternoon doze,
I wonder as I wander through this
busy world,
Why do my arms yearn to spin you
around in a dancing twirl?
As I recall the voices of you and your
friends from the birthday

Angry Rabbit
I am not angry! The hare insisted, stomping his foot on my leg.
The last time I was kicked this hard was in 1982 in Winipeg.
Who said I am angry? He demanded, his face a thunder cloud.
I did not dare answer this question to his face or aloud.
Not angry at all! He yelled, as he threw

Says the Rabbit
I'm a rabbit. That's what I said,
and I don't care what you have read -
with eyes on both sides of my head,
you won't ever catch me dead.

I name him marshmallow
They hop into my sister’s garden
They are adorable! I say, watching their cheeks chew up her lettuce.
I know they are rodents
But they look like stuffies
One is almost pure white, I name him Marshmallow.
My sister is NAMING these bunnies! My sis yells at her husband.
Marshmallow is hopping around the flowers. Do bunnies eat them too?
Now they
