The photo below is one I wanted to use as the inspiration for a story. It didn’t happen. I got stuck wondering about the meaning of the markings around the door. The pattern, if divided into groups of three, is an alternating series of short-tall-short. In other words, dot-dash-dot or Morse Code for the letter R. I know, it’s a reach.
Anyway, the Thursday Doors Writing Challenge ends tomorrow, but I’ll be at the bar with David and Cheryl. So, as the title suggests, something silly for my blog friend in Maine.
River’s Runaway Rabbit
Where are you going? Mom bunny asked of her child A big home in Maine What? Three states away baby? Yes. A big yard is waiting
How will you get there? The circus is going there soon Perhaps I can hide In a magician’s top hat? Or perhaps on a trapeze
The mom bunny scowled Perhaps shot from a cannon! The baby quivered You can’t trust circus people They will lock you in a cage
You’re safe in this yard Where there is plenty to eat Dandelions, plantain The nice man planted tulips The woman gives us water
Baby bunny thought His life was good in this yard OK mom, I’ll stay here But can I eat from the quince? When you’re big enough to stand
I think the poem stanzas are in tanka form, although I could be wrong. The bunny images are from The Noun Project, where a modest subscription gives you access to gazillions of icons. I’m sorry to say that the baby bunny will be staying with us and not moving to Maine, but I’ll keep sharing photos,.
I’m adding this reminder to all my posts this month. The Thursday Doors Writing Challenge (TDWC) is underway. Visit this page – Pick a door that inspires you – Write something, anything – Post it to your blog – Leave a link to your post in a comment on the TDWC page. If you don’t feel like writing, visit the page and see the wonderful things that have been written.
All five of my current books are now available in audio book form thanks to Amazon KDP’s Virtual Voice process. The voice is AI generated, but I can honestly say, it’s pretty darn good. The audio books are reasonably priced (all below $7 US) and, if you already own the Kindle version and want to add an audio version, you can do that for $1.99. There is a five-minute sample on the book page for each book. If you’re interested, click on any of the Dreamer’s Alliance book links below the image or on the link below for my latest book.
