THE HARE
Mystical, mythical mammal of twilight
And dawn. Long-legged creature
Whose antics delight.
Nature’s gift to those who linger.
Enigmatic leap-frogging
Player whose very sinew
And nerve is flexed. Seeing
With both fore and aft in view.
Flexible ears signal
And listen for enemies near
And far. Huge eyes the wherewithal
To see what they must fear.
Yet, though wary they may be,
There are few more playful creatures,
Full of life, they leap to see-
Off over-ardent suitors.
