The Rabbit of Summer's Cave

Yes, a rabbit with superpowers...deal with it :)

Look at the Rabbit of Summer's Cave,

A body small, but a heart so brave.

For each long year a prey to few, 

For a magic inside, that few only knew. 

For once the rabbit was left a pray,

laying deep within the Summer's Cave.

As death approached and fear seeped in,

A magic man appeared to him.

As pity fell, and tears they cried, 

An idea arose, and a life reprised. 

For the magic man would grant great power,

But in the tiny body, would it wait the hour..

For the predators came, and a prey no more,

for the rabbit grew, and its howl like a horn,

And the predators ran, and the rabbit scorned. 

And a feel of power, and a fear now torn.

As the rabbit turned, with tearful joy,

the cave was empty, and the rabbit employed.

And as the sun set now, a life reclaimed, 

a smile finally crossed, the Rabbit of Summer's Cave

Work in progress. I just have these random ideas that I need to put down every now and then.

This made me think of the "terrible", cave-dwelling rabbit in Monty Python's "Holy Grail" movie. That was very silly, but your cave-dwelling rabbit story is quite serious, of course, and sounds more like a fable or folklore. With some great rhyming, you tell an interesting tale.

Thanks a lot! I try to stay a bit on the darker side of the fables. I hope to have enough darker fables to publish one day!
