Shy rabbit
Rabbit: Wonderland Poetry Prompt Challenge day 21
Reluctantly
sleep released her
from its clutchesā¦
The cold, unyielding stair tread
cradled her numb cheek as
Something gently tickled her forehead.
Pleaseā¦
Just let me sleep!
Painfully, she pried open an eye
just in time to spy
a shy brown bundle of fur
startle and hop silently offā¦
Come back little rabbit!
But, with a twitch of itās tail
it was goneā¦
wishing otherwise
was to no avail.
Butā¦
the timid
rabbitās haphazard trail
stirred a faint memory.
Resolutely,
she struggled uprightā¦
sheād go tonight!

Oh how sweet! I'd love to know - what did the trail reminder her of? Where is she going?
Loved this one, Angie. It had a really gentleness tone to it. Nice job.
Hope again! Love that the rabbit trail triggered a memory! Such good work, Angie!
