Fox

quick sight… caught
a creamy, frothy tail
skulking behind bins
caramel
this creeping tod 
wry trickery, claw
prowl and sly, brazen
he's getting too brave
soon…
a knock on the door

Really enjoyed this Clive. Great writing. I love, ‘ a creamy frothy tail’ ‘ caramel’. You have described the fox perfectly. They certainly are getting more brave now and you see them more than ever out and about during the day searching for food. When my darling dad was a boy, he had a fox that frequented so much he became a pet and they went out for walks together! Thank you for sharing. Blessings to you :):)

What a great story about your dad and "his" fox. Thanks for taking the time to read and comment, Christina.
