Under the hedgerow <br /> The black rabbit pauses <br /> Eyes bright as diamonds. <br /> <br /> Fur black as coal <br /> Surviving the sharp vision <br /> And hunting skills of predators. <br /> <br /> The rabbit hops away <br /> As a slender stoat appears <br /> Relentless in following the scent.<br /><br />Colin Ian Jeffery<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/black-rabbit-2/
