Feeding the Resistance: One Bunny at a Time

Why so glum?

Well … March came in like a lion, and it looks like it’s going out that way as well, not an effing lamb in sight; plus everything is so egregiously awful, how can you NOT be glum?

I just think about the Easter Bunny.  

For crying out loud, you’re a full-grown person!

Which is why I’m focusing on the Bunny, because, as Cormac McCarthy said “…you fix what you can fix, and you let the rest go,” and for me, snapping the head off a solid-chocolate bunny sounds like the perfect way to let go while plotting the revolution.

Aaah … Vive la revolution and the Bunny!

It’s been awhile since I’ve written so thanks to the following for my inspiration. 

Haiku & Other Poetry, tutto e niente

blink

angels weep stone tears

the house stands cold and empty

all because she blinked 

Angels are always going to remind me of my favorite Doctor (10/14) and those absolutely terrifying set of bad guys-the Weeping Angels!  Thanks to Esther and the RDP for the inspirational prompt words of ANGEL and HOUSE. 

 

 

Haiku & Other Poetry, tutto e niente

a raucous melody

once upon a time I slept

each night in peace and quiet

but then the screams ran riot

the peace no longer kept

 

and now the voice inside my head

sings a raucous melody

its song is endless thankfully   

as silence fills my heart with dread

I don’t think I actually followed the w3 prompt correctly ( as this enclosed rhyming) but it inspired me so I’m giving them props!

 Apologies for the possible misuse of phrases. My entire British vocabulary comes from my addiction to BritBox and Acorn TV. I’m currently binge watching Vera and waiting impatiently for the newest series of Midsomer Murders! Thanks to RDP for giving me the excuse to say “fancy a cuppa.” I just wish I could have squeezed in a “pet” or a “love.”

fun with words

waiting for my slot

a couplet comes to my mind

but the muse absconds

as the words vex and annoy

slot will not rhyme with Godot

Just a bit of fun with words today. Thanks to FOWC (SLOT) and RDP (ANNOY).
