[hometext] => saw this fox last winter, a real eyeful of nature in the raw.
[bodytext] => Through a small clearing in the forest of sky A moon arrives, The old man bestowing a lopsided smile On the plough land. Here and there a frost, a small concealment, Delicately covers the brown earth. And there by a shadow on the headland A newly penciled vision of a fox Is cast in a winter loneliness, his hot pungent smell A small revelation of his solitary roaming. His eyes reflect a glance off the moon That even now tell of his thrusting hunger And deep desire to plunder and fulfill some ancient urge. I watch him, my loneliness a fierce loyalty, And, lifting his nostrils to the breeze, a twitching moment Of unease, uncertainty happens. The burnished tip of his brush a quiver, he senses me But I stand in the shape of darkness, my concealment A small triumph. He catches my glance crossing his shadow and moves, A slow deliberation going about its solitude. He barks just once, a coughing echo That shakes the trees from midnight slumber. My own shadow is blessed by moon, stars and frost fox, One more glance and he is gone, Leaving his imprint in the scorched earth, and with him goes My freedom, my loneliness, my deepest desire.

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
