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

hope in the face of despair (Sunday Whirl)

vibrating, I walk

my heart tinged by tragedy

greed cracks earth’s spirit

but your presence calms despair

strings of resistance lift all

It’s Sunday Whirl time! Let’s keep HOPE alive! 

 

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!

Haiku & Other Poetry, Random Rants, tutto e niente

the world is on fire

the world is on fire

but still we say let’s do drinks

and analyze raw data

but it’s an art not a science

so we take no drastic measures

as we blame social media

then we wake to another shocking catastrophe   

the world is on fire

As this might indicate, I’m full of sunshine and light this morning. HA! The muse goes where the muse goes, but I’m still hoping for a better day. 

Thanks for a challenging Sunday Whirl. Check out the word prompts below.
