Glimpse of Red Fur

A glimpse of red fur in the night

bright flash of eyes are then seen
and a streak of white tipped tail
are signs of where it has been

there`s silence in the suburbs
though they scurry all about
scrambling through the rubbish
searching for food with their snout

only seen in din street lights
as they saunter all around
their pups following along
here they`re not chased by a hound

able to blend in to the night
foxes are resilient
so alert to all their world
these creatures are brilliant!

Saw a fox running along our street, in and out of the lamp lights....
