A long time ago, you reviewed my poem and we talked a little. Today I was using your essay on being a fur to explain it to someone, a method I use surprisingly often as it's the clearest explanation I've found. You referred to this poem. I came and read it. I love it, the repition and that it scans and the way it lives.

I just thought you might like to know that.

Such a beautiful poem! I love your writing.

i really liked your 'at one-ness' with nature...with rabbits in this case. very descriptive and accurately so about the rabbits. a wonderful joyous poem. such a good feeling reading it!

This is my favourite style of poetry...it has a classic feel to it. Your description of nature is beautiful.

Heh, only problem I found was the colon in the second stanza. It should technically be a semi-colon I believe...but whatever. Good job nonetheless. I'm going to go read more of your stuff.

You so totally rock! I suck at poety...
Your prose is really good too!

This was so dep *Falls into the deepness*
We!















am I just lame at this point? It's true you rock!

Wow again, I'd no idea rabbits were such complex creatures. I used to think them quite simple, but your work continues to convince me otherwise.

A lovely poetic piece. Nice work.

I liked it. A lot. I also read Rabbiting on, but I must admit I didn't really understand the most of it. :) Sorry. But now I think I do understand.. Have you by any chance read His Dark Material by Phillip Pullman? Well.. Either way, in this trilogy, there's a paralel universe, much similar to ours, where all the people have their daemons. Which are a part of them, actually, their soul, but also creatures for themselves.. If you understand what I'm trying to say. So.. I guess I do understand what you're describing. And I like it. A lot. I've given it thoughts too.. I think my animal would be a jackal.. I have an unusual fondness for jackals and spiders. But I guess I'm still not a fur.. Ok, now I'm ranting and it has nothing at all to do with this review, right?.. Sorry again!!

Love,

the fourth stanza put me in mind of watership down... beautiful nontheless. wonderfully crafted

I can't comprehend your fascination with rabbits, but then they're introduced pests that do massive environmental damage here (Australia). Of course, the same could be said for white people. I don't know if any non-fur could really understand this, but I did like it.

You know what? This is about... a rabbit! Isn't "lagomorpha" like the scientiic name for the family of rabbits?

That was beautiful, so sweet and striking. it showed the bond between you and a rabbit in a very powerful way.

I like that. It's very good, I don't think words I can use in this review can do it justice.

i liked this, you could really tell you enthusiasm for rabbits
some of your lines however were confusing, most of all 6. Money spiders? are these a special spicie/breed that i don't know, or are they a typo (probably not), or is it some symbol/reference that i'm not getting?

I must admit i hit your profile because i have a friend (11 or 12) who lives in new england, oh well, so much for finding that logan

Final note (sorry, i'm rambling):I really like your standardized meter, i found my foot tapping to my reading, and i also really enjoyed the repetitive ending lines (a rabbit thinks, sees etc.) however the very last line was a bit confusing, was the "Ah" a sound of revelation or contentment? or is there just an extra H??

Nicely put. I never really thought about rabbits this way, but now I will. It had a sense of connectedness to it that I find enjoayble in poems.
