forgotton rabbit

jim56

im just a little rabbit and i became a pet
they locked me in a cage then me did forget
i was just a novelty i was something new
though it only lasted for a week two

forgetting all about me in my little cage
just like a reading book i was just another page
now i have to struggle and put up with my strife
i thought that  peoples pets were supposed to last for life.

    A great poem with a powerful message Jim. How many times with my children did I warn them that neglect of a pet is a crime. As said in the Little Prince. When you tame something you become responsible for it. An animal is not a toy it is a life. I will not take on another dog, get a cat or horse because they probably will out live me and then who will care for them. Loved it

          Good write Jim. It's not good for one rabbit to be alone - if they can live in pairs without fighting, I think they should.

            The rabbit to me could represent seclusion, lonliness and a feeling of separation. The cage is not its home. The love of its owner was.
