  sometimes we just cannot get out of our skin… and not only if we’re a stone rabbit, right…?

  A life of contradictions, not always easy but our nonetheless.

  Oh, I can identify with this. And sometimes these situations can be TRULY irritating.

  Being the being we are… is sometimes a hard task. I could relate with the closing emotion.

  I love all the contrasts in your poem. We are such conundrums, aren’t we?!? Your stone rabbit is quite stuck I’d say 🙂

  Ultra-slow motion. Sometimes wanting has to be enough… Every word is significant, I like that.

  Brilliant! Coupled with the picture–perfect. The two compliment each other and the picture makes the poem come alive and vice versa.

  Stone lepus, but heart of beating flesh; frozen, inert, yet the imagination soars to the stratosphere; nice tension in this one; thanks.

  Stark contrasts in a stone rabbit – well illustrated. Yet, it brings back a lost memory from my distant childhood – a repaired stone rabbit in my grandparents garden for which I had a great affection. Thank you for sharing.

  Ah, the mass of contradictions we all are. Succinct and perfect.

  Sometimes it seems as if we’re trapped…not so much by the world around us as by the very nature of what we are, like your stone bunny…If I can take this a step further, the poem can be taken as a commentary on poetry itself: once it’s cast in stone, so to speak, it has a life of its own that may not comport with the artist’s original intent. You struggle to have your words make sense the way you first felt them, but the perceptions and agendas of readers have the final say. This is a very interesting work. Nice job. Stay warm.

  Very effective words to describe how we can become stuck at times, like a stone rabbit. Well done.
