An Ode to Bunny Beloved (poemchallenge by @margaretwise)

in #poemchallenge5 years ago (edited)

The bond that grew between us
Transcended flesh and fur.
The love that blossomed there
Will continue to endure.

You comforted my sadness,
You filled my heart with glee,
Your little paws and little nose,
You meant the world to me.

I look and I still see you;
The memory of your ghost,
The places you've left empty,
The one who loved me most.

The tender way you'd turn to me,
When I walked in the front door.
The way you make me come to you,
Get down with you on the floor.

The eyes that would meet mine,
Head lowered for a fuss,
Until you'd turn to boop me,
Saying "Thank you that's enough."

How I loved you in your tempers,
Your entitled spats of rage.
I loved all your cheeky tricks,
Your refusal of the cage.

I loved you at your worse,
As you loved me at mine.
Facing life without you,
Was like losing the sunshine.

This is about the late, great, beautiful bunny, Whiskey, the lord of the manor, who equally loved to pee on things, and generally trash the place, but would get annoyed if anyone put a bag on the floor. He lived in the house, and waited for me every morning, we had such a routine. He was the best little dude ever, everything that annoyed everyone else just made me love him all the more. We were proper bros <3

Putting this forward as part of @margaretwise's Friday Poetry Invitation, which she puts out every friday. Been a while since I caught it, and due to time differences, I always have to gamble, and post before she announces it. This is the post from last week for anyone wanting to check the rules. Heartfelt poetry can be the hardest to brave, so I am always so glad of this poemchallenge by @margaretwise.

Photos are mine

This is the only picture I have of me actually holding him, and admittedly, he hated that, much preferred to smush our faces together at floor level. He was so good at posing for photos, Moko however, didn't want to do the standard couple kiss pic
