I want to write for you a pantoum of little foxes,
a pantoum of little foxes, sweet and wild,
curled up, safely sleeping, at the base of a tree
a pantoum of little foxes, to make you smile.
A pantoum of little foxes, sweet and wild,
bright eyes winking, tails bushy and brushed,
a pantoum of little foxes, to make you smile,
hidden in the forest, mother-held and hushed.
Bright eyes winking, tails bushy and brushed -
is there anything more beautiful and sweet,
hidden in the forest, mother-held and hushed,
or scampering, on happy little feet?
Is there anything more beautiful and sweet,
curled up, safely sleeping, at the base of a tree,
or scampering on happy little feet?
Here's a pantoum of little foxes just for you, from me.
for The Sunday Muse and shared with earthweal, for the sheer relief of posting something there that isnt my usual doom and gloom. LOL.
Thank you for writing that pantoum of little foxes. I enjoyed the rhyming flow and it did make me smile.

ReplyDeleteWhat can I say, Sherry. Little foxes are sooo cute and sweet in the wild. But dare I say "let sleeping foxes lay?"
ReplyDelete..
Sherry, this is wonderful! A dance of a poem about foxes that reads like a hug. Perfect.
ReplyDeleteI really don;t care much for this pic, but you have turned it into a lovely look at the way it should be for foxes, and for all the furred beings that share our world.
ReplyDeleteI love this, Sherry, pantoums are fun, and you do it so well! Keep safe over there in Tofino.....JIM
