Where's the Rabbit

High atop a giant redwood A gold eagle sets Surveying the forest floor Then off to its left it's sees A rabbit far off in the distance Leaving its perch the eagle soars Into position then dives in For the kill With legs Extended it's razor-sharp Talons Pierce it's prey Then back to the heavens it flies Suddenly A loud crack of thunder Fills the air Startled the eagle opens it's eyes Then flies off toward its nest Wondering where's the rabbit No rabbits were harmed during the writing of this tale

Hi Indiana, thank you for the kind compliment. I'm glad you like my little pond at the end I thought I would throw that disclaimer in there for the animal-rights people. Anyway thank you again for your visit and your sweet comments and compliments have a wonderful day tomorrow. <;-)"

Thank you Kina I'm glad that you enjoyed it. I figured people would get a little nervous that's why I made sure to let everyone know that no rabbits were hurt during the writing of it LOL. Thank you for your visit and your fun, have a wonderful day or evening.
