Near Forest Trees So Tall
There was a rabbit who was scared
No matter where he went.
He never had a friend who cared.
No time with him was spent.
Although his social skills were poor,
He sought to teach the small,
Who hopped with needs not met before
Near forest trees so tall.
The other grown-up rabbits thought
He must be very nice
To work with bunnies who are not
The kind they think of twice.
But though they saw him frequently,
They never, ever knew
His fears would only let them see
A microscopic view.
About this poem
A kind of fable.
