Shy rabbit
Rabbit: Wonderland Poetry Prompt Challenge day 21
Reluctantly
sleep released her
from its clutches…
The cold, unyielding stair tread
cradled her numb cheek as
Something gently tickled her forehead.
Please…
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 off…
Come back little rabbit!
But, with a twitch of it’s tail
it was gone…
wishing otherwise
was to no avail.
But…
the timid
rabbit’s haphazard trail
stirred a faint memory.
Resolutely,
she struggled upright…
she’d 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!
