The Joy of Life
Taught to me by my rabbits.
Life is truly amazing
So I learnt from my pet rabbits,
I watched and learnt from day to day
And studied all their habits.
You can imagine my surprise
To walk out and find,
A tiny little newborn
Was she pregnant all that time?
The poor little thing
Laying in the cold,
Found a pile of fur at one end
Put him in it’s warm fold.
Well I was thrilled to find
Five more little ones,
I felt so proud of Nicki and Smokie
For the wonderful job they’d done.
Half a dozen in all
But I’m sorry to say,
Of all the little ones
Three passed away.
But the three that are left
Are now eleven days old,
Three cute baby rabbits
All so tiny to hold.

My first love is poetry — it’s like a desperate need to write, to free up space in my mind, to escape the constant noise in my head. Most of the time the poems write themselves — I’m just the conduit holding the metaphorical pen.
