Hi Billy, Addy and Todd 
I rewrote 'Rabbit' after starting to read Stephen Fry's 'The Ode Less Traveled'. I love writing but really have no idea about poetic convention other than what I feel is right. So when enjambment was mentioned I asked a friend what it meant and they loaned me Fry's book. So the rewrite is the result of some rudimentary understanding of poetic feet, which has perhaps constrained the language? And I'm beginning to realised just how little I understand! A good realisation to have.
