PETER AND THE HARE
Being the curious adventures of Peter and his semi-imaginary Hare.
A
- Magical,
- Irreverant and
- Semi-pointless poetical journey through
- the middle of everything, or around it.
ALSO FEATURING: Artefacts from the NEAREST! FAREST! and MOST-ROUNDED! corners of the globe!
Start now, and don’t think of stopping!
To Set You On Your Way:
Year 1’s Retro-Indulgent Self-Rospective:
In a year:
I opened the window and had to stop myself from falling.
There were trees… I was quite tired, though.
The shopkeeper added his own money to the till.
The Moon did not have golden syrup.
There was, instead, a pigeon, and many pigeon servants would follow.
There were door-handles…
…and I met Dmitri…
…and Dmitri met the Deer Girl…
…while I played a lot of Tetris.
The monkey squeaked. The organ squeaked.
We discovered the Internet…
…and The Beetles.
There were silverfish.
There was some poetry.
I am Peter;
An ordinary Man who nevertheless has a great talent for withstanding the curious. My endless days are made painless by the company of my good friend and Hare, whom I fear is not long for any of these worlds. Being a hare, he is cursed with an awkward temprement. Nobody in the afterlife would abide him, and I happen to know that they have prepared an escape route for the ocassion of his visit.
But brothers are brothers. When two brothers make a precarious living out of the written word, one must overshadow the other. And I am the one who has been left starving. The Hare posts his poetry here, and he has permitted me to post my crude attempts. Hare with me.
Written by: Peter Buckley, and The Hare.

Hi! I like your blog too. Whimsical is what I’d call it, and humorous. Thanks for stopping by my site.

… And here we hare!
Thank you for the witty words in my blog, I liked them!
Your blog seems intertesting too,I will have a deeper look around. But to start with, your “about” is surely the most original I have eevr seen in WordPress…

[...] now that I’ve figured out how to make some text bigger than other text, I decided to improve the “About” page . There’s now that little bit more hope and direction for those that seek [...]

the images are not mine, I get a lot of stuff from the archive of old books at http://www.gutenberg.org/ often these are so old that rhey are out of copyright, so as far as I know anyone can use them, and anyway some decomposing Victorian gentleman isn’t gonna come a-rappin’ at your door, unless you’re very unlucky…

It is a pleasure to meet you, and I have skimmed some of the front page…I may have to immerse myself deeper, but so far, I have been entertained, and my ears have been perked…If you don’t mind….Im adding you to my blogroll…

The hare will always be quicker and twitchier, I suppose, but I am grateful that Peter has the generosity to share with us. (it’s not often and so often overlooked that eloquence should supercede conformity, I wish more understood that and therefore it is always a bright moment when I can read stuff that is that, this here.) Dammit, making no sense, so I’ll stop now, ha!
