The alarm Bell

Happy to see a six feet rabbit

While I am busy wandering a bit

I was figuring out from corner of my eye

though it is the duty of an expert spy

Something is protruding with an hassle

I am sure it is none other than a pistol

Suddenly heard a gunshot and a punch on my arse

While I am confidently eating the grass

I wondered what is it, beyond my vision

And am desperate to know

Is it the Human season?

Ah what a haunting question that is! This is very interesting. I have never read a poem from the perspective of a rabbit. I think that takes an imaginative mind to get into the mindset of a rabbit, an animal, who does not have, obviously, the capabilities that we do. Great write

I don't think I would want Harvey shooting me in the arse, because I don't deserve it. I don't understand the thrill of hunting, myself. You can buy deer, rabbit, squirrel, pheasant, groundhog, quail, moose, elk, bear meat, etc., if you shop the country butcher shops. So, why go out and freeze your tail off, looking like Elmer Fudd hunting for Bugs Bunny. Just the expense of the outfits they wear, the guns and ammunition, and the tree stands, etc., would deter me. If sneaking up on an innocent little bunny rabbit and blasting his brains out is a person's idea of sport and a fun pastime, you have to really wonder.

Great write! It would be a lot different, if the shoe was on the other foot, wouldn't it?!

very creative poem. I admire your imagination which allows you to tap into the mind of a rabbit- (i dont think i could do that). What i like the most is the last line- Human season.

Yay! from the rabbit's mouth! I do love it when someone speaks for these creatures whose language we never comprehend(I can never call them dumb for its we who are deaf) .The last line-that makes you think how animals must view us!
