Exceptional A poem about wildlife A Potpourri of Poetic Curiosities : Swiss Cheese by CD Richards 5-7-5 Poem contest entry

Rabbits with warrens in pastures where foxes prowl live on burrowed time. Recognized Author Notes This poem is inspired by the fact that my property currently resembles Swiss cheese, due to an explosion of rabbits. It quite literally means risking a broken leg to walk around it. Why the sudden escalation in the rabbit population? Surrounding farmers have shot all the foxes. Mankind is brilliant at screwing things up, and incapable of learning to leave well enough alone. Next, they'll be poisoning the rabbits, and thus killing off native species. Fools. Thanks for reading. P.S. Yes, it's deliberate.
