Sample:-
The Fox
Brown, furry, bundle of energy,
you invade my back garden
early in the morning,
long
before the sun leaps the tallest trees.
Manouvering through the tall grass
your moist nose is your compass,
your ears swivel then point upwards
listening for the cool breath of hidden life.
You wait to deliver your parcel of death
through the clearing mist and rime,
arriving unseen and unannounced
like a plague abseiling from heaven.
Gerhardt Michael
