Fox in the Backyard 12-6-2011

In the morning

In the snow

mama let our own dog go.

When she looked - 

to her surprise -

She saw a fox

Before her eyes.

"A fox. A fox!"

She called for help.

Our own dog,

Bravely chased, not yelped.

A brief encounter 

Near the fence -

Tensions flaring,

Such suspense!

A fox is clever, wily, keen;

He jumped the fence to forest green.

A small adventure to start the day -

We wish they all would start that way!

- Papa, Mama, Nika, Lina (the twins giggled this one out!)
