Ode by a Crazy Wabbit

Poetry doesn’t always have to be seriousPhoto by Pixabay on Pexels.com I’m perched on a rock seeking squizzlesI knows they’re nefarious chapsThey’re feisty and fast-y and nutty and craftyAnd they laugh at us WabbitsPerhaps…We shouldn’t put up with their anticsWe shouldn’t put up with their nutsThey confuse us by talking semanticsAnd making us feel likeContinueContinue reading “Ode by a Crazy Wabbit”

If you’d told her that it would be on a phone withContinueContinue reading “My Saving Grace”
