There's a little rabbit
She prays to the moon
That the goddess up there
Will send for her soon

Isn't it said that
There's a queer one behind the clouds?
That thing with a sweet woffly nose
And magnificent furry paws and snout?

The little rabbit
Has fallen in love
With the legendary one
That lives within the clouds
Therein the round sphere
The mysterious shadow lurks
Waiting for his little rabbit
Perking his anxious ears

When will the time come
When these two adoring creatures unite?
Lets watch as she prays to the moon
Each and every night

--------------------------------
There's a chinese legend about a goddess who lives in the moon, with her jade rabbit. This poem was inspired by that
A light-hearted piece, hope u enjoy it

Love
Michelle

If there cannot be equal in affection, then let the one with more be me - midnightblues™

A delightful piece Michelle.

the woods are lovely, dark, and deep, but I have promises to keep, and many miles to go before I sleep...Frost

This is lovely, Michelle!
Like a gentle etching on parchment....
