My new years resolution was to make an attempt to get something published this year...and to start small and local. One of my favorite publications is The Bunny Runner, a newsletter of the Colorado House Rabbit Society. This just came out in the May 2008 issue.
BREAKFAST WITH DAISY
every morning when I go to the kitchen to make my breakfast
I hear her sharp nails clicking on the old oak floors in the living room.
then, I see from the corner of my eye a small rabbit streaking across
worn black and white kitchen tiles, skidding to a stop at my feet -
well, that would be generous, she actually runs into my feet!
her morning hairstyle of unruly gray tufts poking out helter-skelter,
huge dust bunnies stuck to her eyelashes,
she’s looking for her breakfast, a piece of fruit, a sprinkle of cereal, some lettuce.
best of all, I can grab a hug from her when she is done
as her paws cannot accelerate quickly enough across the slick kitchen floor.
