Linda Alice Fowler Poet Other

Foxes

A fine family of foxes, 
a feisty mom and her two kits
living near humans by shrewd wits.
Her constant success flummoxes. 
Kits are tiny jack-in-the-boxes,
heads bobbing while mom baby sits. 

NB: Other - Sextilla: A Sp. stanza form of six octosyllabic or shorter lines. In the classic period, the usual rhyme schemes were abbaab.

Terry Flood May 16, 2023 at 2:59 PM Smashing write, Linda. I used to watch mum and baby foxes venturing out from our previous house… and your depiction is spot on. Terry Linda Alice Fowler May 25, 2023 at 7:00 AM They are lovely critters Terry. We've caught her in a live trap (set for possums and racoons) but, of course let her go. She has little fear of us. Thanks for reading and commenting! :)
