Poem-in-a-Pocket Day: Silhouette Tease


Silhouette Tease

Wolf jumps
from the prairie
into the sky
and 
tries 
to
snatch the rabbit 
who lives on the moon

Once the moon glowed
clean as bone
until Sun flung
rabbit there
for 
resisting 
his bidding
to dash him
faster
around
the earth

Now Sun
lures wolf
hoodwinks him
with light beams
to 
reveal the rabbit 
in the moon

Sun laughs 
 as wolf howls
at the illusion
