The Conversation
"Hello." Said the robin to the rabbit
"Hello." Said the rabbit to the robin
Hopping closer, Mr. Robin cocked his head, and peered at Mr. Rabbit.
"How's the worms this evening?"
Mr. Rabbit twitched his ears in confusion and asked, "How's the clover this evening?"
The meals continued in silence as they sat side by side
Each harboring a silent respect for the other
The conversation didn't end, it just grew quiet
"Hello." Said the robin to the rabbit
"Hello." Said the rabbit to the robin
Hopping closer, Mr. Robin cocked his head, and peered at Mr. Rabbit.
"How's the worms this evening?"
Mr. Rabbit twitched his ears in confusion and asked, "How's the clover this evening?"
The meals continued in silence as they sat side by side
Each harboring a silent respect for the other
The conversation didn't end, it just grew quiet

About this poem:
Yes, it's simple but some things in life are.I took a walk tonight and saw a robin and a rabbit side by side and wondered if anything, they'd be talking about. I realized that maybe they didn't have anything in common other than they picked the same spot to enjoy a meal and had a healthy respect for the other for various reasons only known to them personally. And sometimes, that's the same in life. We don't always become friends or stay friends, but we can respect each other, for our differences. Written 3-29-12
