One of Spring's hidden treasures.
beneath the Wandering Jew,
lay babies small
with no fur at all,
slick with the morning dew.
Crouching down beside the nest,
gingerly I seek to find
a tangled womb
in need of more room
cradling nature's kind.
Barely moving, crowded brood,
bodies cupped together rest
safely inside,
together abide,
waiting for Mother's breast.
Each day brings a changing view
as their fur begins to grow,
tawny brown
soft as eiderdown,
warm in the melting snow.
Springtime's birth brings life again.
Creation's time to play.
A plan devine,
sweet as apple wine,
as bunnies hop away!

Creation's Time to Play
Down below the scattered mulchbeneath the Wandering Jew,
lay babies small
with no fur at all,
slick with the morning dew.
Crouching down beside the nest,
gingerly I seek to find
a tangled womb
in need of more room
cradling nature's kind.
Barely moving, crowded brood,
bodies cupped together rest
safely inside,
together abide,
waiting for Mother's breast.
Each day brings a changing view
as their fur begins to grow,
tawny brown
soft as eiderdown,
warm in the melting snow.
Springtime's birth brings life again.
Creation's time to play.
A plan devine,
sweet as apple wine,
as bunnies hop away!
