A Silver Fox

a silver fox slinks
its eyes glint sharper than steel---
swift as lightning bolt

The fox is cunning and quick, just as you described so eloquently in your haiku, Annalise. And it just makes me boil that my sister has a floor-length silver fox coat that was made in Paris. These creatures are too beautiful to kill for their fur! If you didn't enter one in Charles Henderson's contest yet, this one could easily be modified to fit his 15-syllables or fewer requirement and would make a great entry. Love you, dear, but I'm struggling now as you know. Praying for strength -- cd

nice vivid painting and image of this, silver fox; searching for prey that won't be able to over-power them; such as a mightier roaring lion -- thank you for the kind com and, this also can be clearly seen by all my dear, Annalise. love, christopher
