A Pantoum of Little Foxes

source


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.

    Pantoums always leave me feeling as if I've gone "out the same door I went in again", but I liked your sweet and wild little foxes!

    oh this is just lovely Sherry - full of light, love and delight, and hope ... a hush of foxes and I believe your choice of form works to it's best advantage here ... this reminds me of a lullaby :)

    Thank you for imagining them back in the forest! Sweetly. Not used in a strange staged photo!

    What can I say, Sherry. Little foxes are sooo cute and sweet in the wild. But dare I say "let sleeping foxes lay?"

    Sherry, this is wonderful! A dance of a poem about foxes that reads like a hug. Perfect.

    I 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.
