Paula Goldsmith April 20, 2022 at 10:44 AM Congratulations on your win. A lovely write. Years ago, I had a dog with fox in her. Each fall her fur would turn redish. Have a blessed day writing away.......................

Andrea Dietrich April 19, 2022 at 2:43 PM Cute one on the three foxes, Milt. Congrats. I finally get a break here to catch up on Soup!! L Milton Hankins April 19, 2022 at 2:51 PM Thanks, Andrea. I have a difficult time with haiku. I had a screen saver with three baby foxes on it, so I stole that for my idea.

Christuraj Alex April 18, 2022 at 8:47 PM Not frightened of any one, indeed. Beautiful. Congratulations! L Milton Hankins April 19, 2022 at 7:28 AM Thanks for the read and the comment, Chris.

Bill Baker April 12, 2022 at 8:02 AM The joy of youth and naivety. Nice Haiku, Milt. Good luck in the contest my friend. Bill L Milton Hankins April 12, 2022 at 8:44 AM Thanks so much, Bill. Yes, young foxes are very endearing, hardly a picture of what most of them become.

Caren Krutsinger April 11, 2022 at 8:25 AM Oh this is tenderly beautiful! L Milton Hankins April 11, 2022 at 8:40 AM They are so darned cute, Caren. I have a picture of three of them on my screen.

Tom Cunningham April 10, 2022 at 10:00 AM Cute looking creatures Milton, can't understand why the well to do used to hunt them for sport, thankfully now outlawed in the uk Tom L Milton Hankins April 10, 2022 at 11:06 AM I am glad to hear that, Tom. I have a picture of three of them, looking so pert, on my computer. Very young animals sometimes have not developed their fear of humans. They are so delightful.

Ilene Bauer April 10, 2022 at 9:18 AM Nice one! I had some baby foxes under my shed a few years ago and they were adorable to watch… L Milton Hankins April 10, 2022 at 11:07 AM They are really cute. They resemble Pomeranians quite a bit.
