In Haste

The poetry prompt for this week given by poetsonthepage is to write a poem from the perspective of the bunny or from the perspective of humans watching a bunny.

When I look at a bunny rushing, jumping, covering distances in haste this is what comes to my mind -

Swift 

The bunny hops

Light 

Footprints made on earth

Here

One minute

Gone

In the next few seconds 

Rushing 

From here to there

Then 

From there to here

Not knowing 

Where and why

Speed 

Seems to be the point

Resting

For a couple of minutes

Then 

Rushing

Off to another place

Not knowing where to go

Hopping

Sometimes high

Sometimes low

Always 

In a haste

Restless

Looking 

Here and there 

Wondering 

What is going to jump out

What is going to scare

Eyes peeled

Looking 

For opportunities that will fetch

A mouthful of grass

Replenished

To begin 

All over again

In haste 

We live life in a hurry, rushing past moments chasing after goals but in the rush we miss out on the precious moments, and later we wonder, was it all worth it.
