Ah, yes, it's spring with a fresh run of roadkill. :-)

Thanks for participating in today's contest at Mindful Poetry!

One man's roadkill is a buzzard's lunch. A delectably dark poem.

I started to do it about a turkey buzzard getting a reflection of himself and start running scared...Thanks AF

Richard Adams had, long ago, converted me into a sympathizer with rabbits... so forgive if I don't cheer for the opportunistic buzzard.

I do like your septolet, however. (:

I didn't mean to be cruel (maybe should have used a rat instead) but some love rats...I am really an animal lover but haveseen a lot of roadkill and it's kind of like a war...innocents get killed...I used to raise rabbits and they are the most cuddly, innocent,passive animals I know...sorry

Oh no, my friend, no need to apologize... If it were not for the "thousand enemies" that chase after the children of El-ahrairah (rabbits), they would overrun the world... It is as Lord Frith ordained.

Ps, Watership Down...is one of my favorites

Rabbits sometimes are impossible to avoid with motor vehicles--they can and do run right under the tires sometimes.
Yes, a cool septolet.
