Little Rabit -- Poem for Friday Writings
(Originally posted Tuesday, April 23, 2019,
for NaPoWriMo, Day 23 find it here)
Cousin to the Easter Bunny?
.
I'm a little Sock Toy Rabbit
No dark rabbit hole for my home
Sleep in a large green padded box
Share it with a whole bunch of toys
Infused with kindness, smile ingrained
From a grey sock, red and white toed
Kind little lady imparted
love portion with each needled stitch
Not seeking greatness or riches
Hanging out with my toddler friend
I love him he drags me around
By my ear, arm, or leg he pulls
Some day I'll be outgrown, cast off
Choose me next and you I will love

I do hope it is handed down to someone who needs a sweet toy!
Even discarded, ready, willing and able to impart more love. :)
Very sweet. I could imagine the scene "drags me around
By my ear, arm, or leg he pulls"
Aw, what a good bunny!
I lost count of all the animals I brought back to life and limb decades, your poem reminded me and I thank you!!
Reminds me of the Velveteen Rabbit. And... I have known who Lynryd sknyrd is since the 70s. I just don't know how to spell it.
I really love the point of view. It made me smile. Thank you for that, Jim.
This is such a sweet poem, Jim!
