Three Little Foxes

Furry red
Fox kits in a
Pile of three
Bringing a smile
To the face of me

Are they sly and
Are they slick?
Are they ready 
To tumble and
Rumble and flip?

They look so tame
Just sitting there
I want to run my
Fingers through
Their red hair!!!

This was really nice Janet. I've only seen one Fox in the wild and that was in my backyard one night many years ago, haven't seen one since. I think it was as afraid of me as I was of him (or her) :)

They go across our horse pasture even when the horses are turned out. Both species ignore each other. (Smile)

Thank you, Jan, and by the way, I prefer JAN to JANET. I think you write the kind of poetry that appeals to me. I will be reading more of them.
