Springtime Bunnies

The birds sing their songs

pairing two by two

and bunnies softly step

through fields of swaying daffodils.

All who come will

witness something wonderful

an Easter awakening

as, from what once had fallen,

comes a new life.

And speaking of wonderful,

the White Rabbit would reply,

this place is Wonderland

And in Wonderland...

“Take some more tea," the March Hare said to Alice, very earnestly.
"I've had nothing yet," Alice replied in an offended tone, "so I can't take more."
"You mean you can't take less," said the Hatter: "it's very easy to take more than nothing."

  

To which Alice replied

"Nobody asked your opinion"

Then to the hare, reminiscing,

Is it tea for two

or two for tea?

 But won't the White Rabbit

soon join me?

I followed this place

and don't know the way home.

I fear that soon

 I will have to stay

 forever.

(my new Shelley set, a surprise find after we went for a drive and somewhat got lost, sort of)

Alice finally sat

and took a teacup

one of two with flowers

pink, white, blue, and green,
As the Hare returned with
the White Rabbit
and readied to pour the tea.

(the other set I found on that same trip)

But Alice rests her cup on its side,

still thinking deep thoughts

then asks

"How long is forever"?

To which the White Rabbit answers,

"Sometimes just one second."

Think Alice of the daffodil

Sunny and bright

as the day

until it is night.

Just so the daffodil blooms

until it does not.

What is forever

 to the daffodil?

Then the white rabbit sprang up

with some trepidation

But, alas, I don't have forever,

not even one second.

I'm late! he exclaimed

I'm late!  For a very important date!

Now no time to say

"Hello/Goodbye,"

I'm late, I'm late, I'm late.

I'll share the recipe for scones--carrot cake of course since we have a tea of hares and rabbits-- later this week.  I hope you had a wonderful Easter!
