The Rabbit and the Fox

I crouched behind the tall grass growing Spied a sly fox galloping towards me With rapid breath, his ears held high A hanging tongue, red eyes were glowing He was hunting....he was wry I watched him hunt, ...in tall grass growing I knelt behind the tall grass growing Saw the rabbit cower lowly Looking for a rabbit hole A place to scurry....he must hurry A rabbit bracing,...hearts were pacing My own heart was pounding, racing I hid behind the tall grass growing Watched the sly fox snatch the rabbit A witness to the course of nature I felt the darkness cloud the picture Overcome by grief and sadness I sat upon the tall grass growing I stood up in the tall grass growing Knowing of the force of nature I must leave now.....I will grieve now........somehow my own tears are flowing ______________________________________________________________ Contest The Rabbit and The Fox (Inner animal) Resubmitted and revised for PD's 100 in a ROW contest -- 17
