Another great word choice and some great poems already written when I went over to Sara's
This is what this week's word inspired in me - but please go and check out the others' work - you will not be disappointed.

Rufus the Red
Pointy snout
Appears from behind the garden bushes
Trotting across - a flash of red on a winter’s day
A tail to be proud of disappears in an instant
Delicate tracks in the crisp, white snow
Are all that is left of a visit by Rufus.
Nice!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Paula :)
DeleteMy friend would love this. She's a massive fox fan, but we rarely see them here. :-)
ReplyDeleteI expect that's why you have so much other wildlife though - but I am a fox fan :)
DeleteLast fall, I was fortunate enough to see a family of foxes near a small pond in our neighborhood. At first I thought I was seeing some cats with fluffy tails, but nope! Red foxes. They were adorable. Hopefully they moved on to a safer environment.
ReplyDeleteThey can be very cat like - particularly when walking across the tops of fences - something a dog certainly wouldn't be able to do!!
DeleteLove it! What a great little poem, such evocative imagery. Thank you so much for sharing with #ThePrompt (and apologies for the incredible lateness in commenting this week, OH away on business, the days just vanish!) xx
ReplyDeleteNo worries, Sara, I appreciate the time you spend each week hosting this lovely linky that brings out our creative sides :)
DeleteThis is fabulous! I love your take on the colour red :) #ThePrompt
