Extra September Poem
Sep. 25th, 2015 08:43 pmStartled: Kitsune Poem
Published Sep 16, 2015
It's early for the October Poem, I'm still considering what creature to choose for the official October poem. Since I have not felt well enough to work on the next installment of Selkies' Skins here is an extra poem, with the caveat I am getting back to the story after recuperating enough.
Startled
A flash of silver
then it’s gone.
What was that
across the lawn?
In the hedge
blue eyes watch.
While we
enter our lodge.
Across the sea
Green eyes gaze
upon young
at their play.
A red tail
strives to stay still.
Gleeful tail
has own will.
Between, a table
hides the clue.
But a dog barks-
and a flash, blue.
Rustling fabric
reveals the crying fox
running away
despite sad squawks.
Kitsune, where
Do you dash so?
Your lover calls
“come home.”
