Hollow bunny,
I crush you and
With my tongue
Trace your contours,
The illusion of substance.
You are not enough.
You never satisfy,
Though your wrapper
Is as pretty
As a spring day.

I believe the chocolate love in you has been exposed. Nothing hollow about that. The Easter Bunny will be making note of that.
ReplyDeleteSo cute and so true. A hollow bunny, never satisfies. It makes one aware that we want substance.
ReplyDeleteHave a great weekend Sandy.
That's what all chocolate lovers say! Me? I could do without. . . except I do love chocolate licorice. . .
ReplyDeleteHa.. nicely done. And you've awakened a craving for chocolate.. which is never far from the surface.
ReplyDeleteLOL...how well I remember the chocolate bunnies of childhood and "off with their heads" was the first order of business! What a fun post Sandy, thank you!

A charming poem!
ReplyDeleteWhat a cute post. Now go out and buy some huge hunk of expensive organic chocolate and enjoy!
ReplyDeleteNice words and the thought of choc - delights.
ReplyDeleteGreat poem and I NEED to remember this "you do not satisfy" whenever I contemplate eating things that are a moment on the lips, lifetime on the hips :)
ReplyDeleteO chocolate bunnies! Cute characters! but sadly, often with "no substance"! A fun and slightly ironic piece of writing!
ReplyDeleteThough I am hollow
ReplyDeletewhen in my empty brain
I still try to satisfy
and chocolate you insane.
This made me smile, as I agree with you. Never was much for chocolate bunnies, they appeared so mundane and I loved fillings, which they lacked.;) But the wrapping was always enticing to me thus I often kept them.;))
ReplyDeleteHave a lovely Sunday,
xoxo
maybe leave it for a few days & it'll multiply cute lil baby rabbits? :P
ReplyDeletenice poem too!
(stev of formerly stevblogs here btw)
A fun poem with a deeper metaphor within the wrapping. Excellent.
ReplyDeleteOh so true! I remember as a child I was always heart broken as I found the hollow bunny in my basket! Sigh!!

wow! i believe some people live lives like they are hollow. as if nothing good is in them when in fact they are special.
ReplyDeleteMan, still another month away, though. Even if they're not quite as satisfying as the could/should be, there's a perverse pleasure in biting off bunny chunks. :)
ReplyDeleteCraving is not hollow. It is real, isn't it?
ReplyDeleteOh what a fun poem! I bet you eat the ears first.
ReplyDeleteIt took me time to unwrap it.. well
ReplyDeletefound it indeed very interesting.. Thanks Sandy!
What an adorable write. I agree - those hollow chocolate bunnies just aren't enough.
ReplyDeleteA promise in the making. A joy for the senses all. How good life feels aftwards. Thank you. Please have you all a good new week.

Yum! Hollow bunny...delicious! I can see how this little rabbit cannot satisfy once the chocolate has been consumed. This is a delicious poem Sandy.
ReplyDeleteOh Snady! Perfect for the prompt- loved it! And I agree- always lured in by the outer packaging and "substance" but never enough- never! It looks like you are on Spring Break? Enjoy!!!
ReplyDeleteThere is real substance in your poem, though not in the bunny...
ReplyDeleteTruly admirable take on the prompt, Sandy.
sweet beautiful words!
ReplyDeleteNow if it were dark chocolate...
ReplyDeleteThanks for being here.
