British wildlife – Sarah Potter Writes

Monday Morning #Haiga — Fox Cubs

Ahead of herself,
grey squirrel in white apron
gathers winter food.

Scatterbrain squirrel
abandons cooked chicken egg
next to her dugout.

Winter fox cub lurks
Territorial dispute
One bloodied dog nose

Dead pile of sticks
masks inner community:
toads, insects, spiders.

Brush pile tangle
haven for songbirds to feast;
no hawks admitted.

~Midday siesta~
Fox, oblivious to world,
sleeps in Autumn sun.

~Midnight hunting trip~
Fox, alert to every sound,
slinks in moon shadows.
