The Fox, the Wolf, the Coyote

A wizard of wild
Seasonal changes his world 
Sly and cunning games

Open fields are home 
To always play till days end 
Hunting more than sport

A flash of movement
Traces of his whereabouts 
Are scarcely a trail.

Magician of beast
Blending one within his own
Timeless enchantment

A graceful harshness
A beautiful wilderness
Harsh environments

An eerie silence 
Approaching from the shadows
Cloaked in mystery.

Fearless by nature
Radiant energy bounds
An essence of one

Playful and naughty
Shadows of monsters lurking
Elected by force

A challenge to live
Surviving in modern days 
Resilient by far.

Wonderful entry Shannon. I shall surely desire this scales the podium. Thankfully Fox Hunting is now illegal in the UK now. We have to remember that it's mans GREED, nothing more that introduced this barbaric sport. After all, they were here before us. Have a terrific weekend.....:) smiles
