Sara Kendrick Poet Haiku

What Does the Fox Say

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"

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..
They are mostly nocturnal

Robert Pettit February 22, 2014 at 11:42 AM 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.
