  Hawks and Fishes
  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

  The hawk fishes for
  fishes too large
  for it's talons,
  and making the
  catch soars away
  with floping fish
  in tow.
  The floping fish
  flops for freedom
  and makes it's
  daring escape,
  diving nose first
  into land that
  once was sea.
  The fish now rapidly
  turns and turns and turns,
  drilling a well into
  the sandy loam,
  as the hawk stands by
  and ponders the
  way of fishes too large
  for it's talons.
