Mounds Mystery



Mounds Mystery




Each tussock casts a spell
It holds the hound in thrall
To some deep primitive allure


His nostrils flare
Then slap the fragranced air
As they snap back


Swallow the scent
Of other marking creatures
Or maybe deeper still


Beneath the tufted mound
Some timid smaller prey
Seeks sanctuary
