Is this sentence grammatically correct, as part of a poem?

Post by Forever Light »

Hi everyone,

I would be grateful if you could help me.

Is this sentence (part of a poem) grammatically correct?
(The context of the poem is that the rabbits have momentarily gone somewhere to hide from what they have done...)
So the sentence is:

"Will chasing rabbits, teach them any good?"


Can I use the word 'Will' or shall I use 'Does' instead?


Thank you for your help!

It seems that "Will" is ok, but without the FULL context it's impossible to say for sure.

Also, there doesn't seem to be any need for the comma.
