It's Not Easy Being A Bunny

It's not easy being a Bunny
             when everyone around you is a frog.
And the Nic, nack, paddywhack won't
                           give anybody a bone.
A bone, there's the image.
Solid white memory
                                     of a body that
               used to contain it.
It and many others, many others and it.
Vitality renewed. Vitality restored.
It's not easy being a Bunny
                  when every other demon
                                     is alive and well.
Correction needed, needing correction.
Moulding, shaping, terraforming.
Begin the play, enter the actors.
                           Prance and dance around the stage
                            like jumping Minotaurs
        erected around the stable.
A vocal chord erupts. A sound begins.
It shrills and calls and capitulates,
                 hurts and bleeds and stipulates,
that every Bunny in the chicken coop
             must be processed as soon as can be.
It's not easy being a Bunny
                    when everybody plucks your
      fur out of your body.

very good...I love the title!

[storiestotell]

Intresting and well written as always!

[KimLove "The Beautiful ..]

The way you have this one set up is pefect because it's all over the place. The scarey part is I think I understood it. xo

[Norma M Sutton]

Oh my . . . mixed metaphors lol. They certainly keep the reader off balanced.

[Groovy]

From the whimsical title to the last word, this poem is perfect! What more can I say?

[quinfinn]

delightfully diverse and abstract, solid and entertaining piece!

Absolutely loved this!! Terrific job Chris!

[Spiral Panda]

Such a silly clock! But so serious. I love it because you branched out on a topic most others wouldn't have on. It's so unique and treasured. It has the undertone of being about people in general too, but mostly stands ground as being about the torture animals go through, particular rabbits, hence the title "It's Not Easy Being A Bunny."

maccabre little unfable chock full of wonderfully strung word plays~

[The Cobra Lounge]

Lol, morbid, but written with love and humor. :)
