Location: Cleveland, Ohio, United States

As a teacher, my favorite characterization of myself is: professional muse. As a mom, I am always being stretched in new ways. As a writer, I have been very happy. As a citizen of the world, I am deeply concerned about many things.

Baby Bunnies

If I knew my way around public domain photos better, here I would insert the most beautiful thing I saw today. I quickly tried finding such a picture. The first site I found was of rabbits subject to animal research . . . my heart aches. (Several weeks later I have returned, in search of rabbits in the wild. I saw some at the gas station today, 7/13/05)

Three baby bunnies
tumble beneath a bush
at my son's summer
camp.

One tail zigzagged
like a flash of
lightning in a
darkening sky.

The brushstrokes of new
life are quicker than
my aging eyes.

I am so tired.

Your wish is my command. I loved finding a bunny to post. Not to sound like an English teacher, but I was always taught that one has 100 exclamation points for a lifetime. Consider carefully how many remain in your possession.
