Mr Fox

We have many foxes near us but they rarely come near the house.Sometimes we see footprints.
But this fox had an appeal in its gaze.

I remembered today when reading about Morecambe Bay how terrified I was as a child by the images of bogs,sinking sand and other natural dangers.But at some point this fear must have left me
                             We went on holiday quite a lot to that area of Cumbria whey I was a child.I remember reading accounts of travellers taking a shortcut across the bay[to avoid a long journey around the edge of it.Sometimes an entire coach and horses would be swallowed up.But we were not likely to do that journey.Yet those images often  were in my mind,Also how to save yourself my lying flat on the sand to spread your weight.And how struggling would make the situation worse.A horrible way to die.
                   Is being swallowed up emotionally something children fear?Adults do seem large and powerful.I don’t think about it now on the whole

Those dragonflies
Your blue eyes
Lawns with daisies
Poetic phrases
Sparrows cheeps
No mobile bleeps .
Foxes eyes
Scrutinize.
Let me be.
Don’t squash me

Rabbits run.
Let’s have fun,
Knitted hats.
Tabby cats
Hot  fires.
Quagmires
Lambs and sheep,
Lover’s leap.

My doctor gives out bags of beets.
To stop us from sucking boiled sweets
He said all that sugar
Is a bacteria hugger,
Besides causing very large seats.

I once had a doctor called Laws
Who held  a raw eggs in his jaws
He was unable to speak,
For then it would break
And make indelible marks on his clothes
