Poem I wrote in 2009, that was inspired by Betsy Byers' book, 'The Midnight Fox'
Out of the darkness came a fox, A black fox, Her fur like midnight, Her eyes like stars. She moved over the rocks with great ease, Into the shadows. All I could see of her was her eyes, Twinkling like yellow gems, Until she stopped. Her ears twitching, She crouched low. I knew what she was going to do... POUNCE! Up into the air she leapt, Then down again , On the ground. In her jaws lay her prey. She clambered up the side of the ravine, Into the forest, Away and and away. That was the time I saw the black fox, Her fur like midnight, Her eyes like stars.
