Day four into Poem a day challenge: I enjoyed the last time I participated in the PAD challenge, and just enjoyed playing around. I'm feeling that less this time around. Perhaps it's just work is tre busy and I'm generally exhausted.
This prompt is another 101 workshop prompt. Broad and general. And RLB's got a hard task to come up with 31 prompts and make it accessible. This was one hard for me cause I was feeling the topic.... but being Saturday, at least I didn't have to write a sonnet, or sestina. So far the experience has been kinda like watching a brainless, but entertaining, reality show.
FOX IN THE HEDGE
She comes every night when the warm air
bakes against the house, and she snatches scraps
from the neighbor’s slop dish, her musk
edges the cat under the porch,
the dogs bark and squeak, bark and squeal.
In lamplight her fur ages nightly
and like a movie star she is silver,
she is orange. Her head cocked
with a dash of drama, her tail
sprung for surprise. The children name her
nightly, it is sport, the discovery of her trot
her mischief, her eyes.
