the mother red fox snuggles in warm den, feeds her kits... a-oo-oo-oo-ooo the owl in the tree on a pitch dark moonless night ... who-who-who-who-who the mother red fox says shhh, shhh, shhh, to the owl.... kits just wow, wow, wow the crack of dawn breaks a sunrise of red and blue ... zzzzz, zzzz, silence speaks
I get a kick out of the whole song, "What Does The Fox Say" but I dedicate my poem to "Fraka-kaka-kaka-kaka-kow" Written February 21, 2014 Sponsor: Skat A Contest: What Does The Fox Say I did some research on the Red Fox and they make a sound somewhat like the Tawny Owl and other trisyllabic sounds like they are talking to each other..

That species is very common in North America, but the only way I ever get to see them is when they are an occasional road kill. You have written this piece nicely. I'm sure Skat will be impressed.
