Well, I've watched this one improve day by day. This is definitely my favourite version! Very visual and visceral imagery. I like it!

Perfect! Can't believe the title was staring me in the face haha!

Ahh thank you! I think there might be a word that gives more power to the title though, but I'm not sure what it might be :)

Thanks DD. You’re right, I couldn’t quite settle on a final version and the words kept changing. Now, after your thumbs up, that’s it forever set in stone !! Many thanks for your comment.

Thanks Heidi. The inspiration for this haiku was the sight of a fox crossing the eight lane motorway in the centre of Glasgow - and surviving!
