Notes About The Poem

This was originally posted a week ago under the title, 'Caught, Trapped.'  I've changed it so significantly that it is no longer the same Tanka.  Hence, this submission...

Survival of the Fittest

Scurrying about...
Darting here and there... panicked
Whimpering feebly... 
Brave predators lick their lips...
Caged, trapped... helpless... caught fast
