White Hare

A side view glance, wry
Scholastic eyes, wise - white hare 
Speaks demands answers
My mouth dictating rivers
Speaks in under-water dreams.

echoes from fallen timber, tucks his head
slowly escaping the smoke 
he lives another day

Moving at the pace  of a turtle
pick up the pace there is no hurdle!
Kindly move over

If I hop past you don't startle.

THE TURTLE AND THE HARE


A “turtle” on the path of
Enlightenment   
Runs faster than a “hare” on the
Highway of confusion!

Bunny Flop

a limerick by Wayne Wysocki

The tortoise and hare had a race
But the rabbit came in second place
      So the notion that speed
      Makes the win guaranteed
Just isn't always the case.

Trapped in a Bubble

Hare trapped in a bubble,
Too pained by the capture;
Yet chews its last supper.
Even joy precedes pains—
    stop your stare,
    dare to help.
    Though I err,
    spare some love,
    wipe my tear.

Premium Member Hare Today, Gone Tomorrow

One day I was sitting in a field
Ogling at my afternoons yield
When across the road I seen
A lovely meadow so green
Cars don't see fur as a shield

Looking At Hare, Looking At Me

Soft eyed promoter, softer
Evening's light within
One hare, of what, too, my heart
Drew, moistily, out.

Through which quietness, more airs'
Wild herb scents hung in
Enlarged a soul's own focus.
"Bondship,!" Each thought-sprout.

Premium Member Tortoise and the Hare: Part V of a NEW Poetic Format

The hare expected to win and the tortoise knew he would lose--too much and too little of themselves, until fate intervened.

One sat under the apple tree until an apple fell on its head, and the other was on top of that tree, simply going out on a limb.

Premium Member Tortoise and Hare Redux

She has a certain savoir-faire;
always clever with the cleaver.
Young leveret wants to believe her,
follows signs for trim of hare.

Too old, her title to recoup,
waits patient at the barbershop,
then takes a little off the top;
a tortoise makes delightful soup.

Premium Member Hare Raising

The rabbit died; it lost its head.
Tastes like chicken: what they said.
Skinning rabbit’s hard to do
When they’re staring back at you.
Truth is, they’re quite good to eat;
A protein source that can’t be beat.
Today’s events will haunt my dreams,
No one told me bunnies scream.

The Hare and the Turtle

The Hare and The Turtle
The hare and the turtle were in a race.
No one was there to set the pace,
The hare took the lead we did see.
With the turtle far behind.
We we all know the story 
But what you don't know is how the hare won the race.
He won by a hare when driving a Ford.

Premium Member A Bad Hare Day

Aesop writes about an unlikely pair

     A race betwixt a turtle and a hare

          While the hare fiddled around

               The wily turtle gained ground

                    Resulting in the hare losing the dare

Premium Member The Tortoise and the Hare, Revised

    The tortoise ran his race
       far, far off the pace
    While the speedy hare
       zoomed from here to there

    Yet when they tallied up the score
       the tortoise had paused to help more
    folks than the hare, who went too fast
       missed his chance, and came in last

The Small Hare - Greedy

"Small hare,

Why do you cry under the birch on the lawn?

The grass became wet from your tears!

See, what wonderful day!

The butterflies are so beautiful 

and the dragonflies fly here,

The flowers blossom all around,

You have a carrot in your paw?"

"But Vovka the Hare has two carrots!"

The Leaping Hare

In open country
chances are he'll be running.

Knowing the sound of every wind-shift
he'll cradle his life in the rock-a-bye cornsticks
hind legs bunched for the big bolt forward
to spring over runaway ground.

Today, in the photograph
which I have called "Hare Leaping"
he will take forever to complete one bound.

Premium Member A Hare In My Soup

The thing about bunnies
I find rather funny:
it’s hard to have only two.
You put them together 
in any old weather,
and one thing is certainly true:
that before you know it,
that cage? They’ll outgrow it,
and you’ll be cooking up stew.
But you’d best take care
to leave a matched pair,
Or your soup-making days will be through.

Camouflage

Wherever I may hop and plop them down in summer my hind feet are a shade of brown yet in winter white which leave large footprints each and every night but then by day I'll have you know they give the game away as is my inborn habit here there and everywhere for at best I'm less a rabbit more a snowshoe hare

Hare & Snake

I twitch
and switch
to face the feared foe ...
how does he always know
which way I will go?
How he does follow
this dance
my trance ...
as I hold so still
hoping he will
slither on by.
Every day 
we sway
and now I face the terror
to leap
away to the warren so deep
and hope he
will only sleep
until next we meet.

Tortoise and the Hare: the True Story

So you think tortoise
   won the race,
not so.

Today the last
of hare's descendants
      passed on.

On his death
bed from his
lips came this,

"My great, great, 
so many grandfathers
   was bribed,

to throw the race
to the tortoise
by the way of carrots.

His greatest weakness,
you didn't really think
the tortoise could have
won do you." then he passed on.

Running Hare

He keeps airborne, skimming over the grass
defying a specific gravity
of joy or fear.

He throws weight off his back like water.
The sky rolls over coiling flesh
as he hurls a tunnel of space ahead.

Where he has yet to bounce, the grass parts,
the land accommodates his passage -
gives way.

A walleyed rapture, a blind bounding
from the tip of mad whiskers.

A last ripple
while blades of grass reclaim the moment.
