Today’s theme is the urban fox.

In my younger days, here in England, the red fox was associated with sprawling woodlands and open fields in the countryside. 

I remember once being on a train to Cornwall and seeing one in the wild for the first time. It was such an impressive sight. It was running across farmland, probably chasing a rabbit or something it hoped to eat for lunch. 

Fast forward to modern times, and foxes have been driven from their natural habitat, which has resulted in the phenomenon of the urban fox.

We get them in our garden every day nowadays. They’re just creatures looking for food. 

Most people seem to regard them as a nuisance, but my wife, Joan, and I are animal lovers, and we can’t help but leave a little food out for them. 

They mean no harm; they’re just hungry. 

If some scraps of food help them a little, we will always try to help them. 

These days, they come right up to our living room window, looking forlorn and hungry. What can I say? We’re suckers for a sad face.

Anyway, I wrote today’s poem based on recent experiences. I hope you like it. 

Feel free to share it. And if you see an urban fox, leave some food out for it.
