High on the Downs

Where pylons stalk
lend their shadows
to grasses that
sift the evening wind

Further over, turfed ditches
engrave a summit
and rabbits bob and lope
then settle to a little silflay

  It’s a word we always use when seeing a rabbit feeding. I looked it up before I put it in the poem and decided if Stephen King can use it…..

    Also, the poem was written on Watership Down– we live close by. :)
