The Hare, The Giant, And The Highway Poem by Zachary Zuccaro

The Hare


A hare
presses her long ears
against the brown arch of her back
and squeezes under the fence.




Highway

A field of lights
illuminates the byway.

A forest of darkness
casts shadows
over the highway.





Giant

The choir is bellowing,
the drums are pounding,
armies gathering,
smoke rising.

The world is shaking,
waves beating the walls,
people staring in awe.

The giant towers
above the trees
and rises to the clouds.

Ten-thousand men
prepare to battle
this enemy.

The giant looks
and laughs;
no force in the world
can contain his power.

A crater forms around his feet,
tidal waves form and volcanoes erupt
when he pounds his fist against the ground.

Beware, he is here.
