Lawrence Strauss Poet Free verse

Today I Caught That Fat Rabbit

Today I caught that fat rabbit
Back again
Eating the daisies I'd planted.

Biting their sad little black-eyed Susan heads off,
Leaving the decapitations on my blacktop driveway.

He kept his head up and
moving side-to-side
All the time his mouth was ripping, nibbling.

And he held that wide-open stare.

I banged on the window,
he hopped and hid under the hastas. 

I checked the time,
and went back to my kitchen 
and my coffee 
and my Bronstein book
and hoped that no one catches me.

Sigrid Ermine August 9, 2020 at 7:45 PM .... just the right type of afternoon to set the rarebit stew a- simmering. Enjoy the mystery book! Lawrence Strauss August 18, 2020 at 9:07 AM Thank you, Ms Ermine, for taking the time to read and comment. I meant by "Bronstein", Leo Bronstein, the philosopher/art historian who long taught at Brandeis U. Thanks again
