The graceful swooping hawk,
Takes a struggling rabbit in its claw,
Then tears it apart with beaked jaw.
You didn’t like what you just saw...
That terrified creature in Hawk’s red maw?
You think the hunter is a redneck lout,
Shooting a deer and dragging it out,
But DEATH is what nature is all about.
We all live off living things:
Sorry for the sorrow
This revelation brings.
i would add an s at the ends of claw and jaw. one claw ain't much to hold a dagnabit rabbit! and one jaw might feel lonesome. :) and the rhyme is still yours! i know what ya mean about death and nature, BUT i assure you some folks would say..............well, various things, Like: leave the poor deer alone! can't you eat a veggieburger at the cafe? and a hawk doesn't have a credit card to use at a dagnabit cafe! nice thinking and nice rhyming. to MyPoemList. bri :)
