 Happy Valentine's Day

 

 

 

 

Which swain will the foxy darling choose? The romantic balladeer beneath her window--or the suave contemporary who rings her chimes?

 IT'S ALL IN THE...
TIMING

Today the sun’s a blazing platter.
Crazy foxes run amok, rebuffed.
Tonight, when setting moon’s
A sliver of a silver scythe
To ornament the sky
And catch the fall of stardust,
Comes the time for fox to move
Through dulcet rendezvous and whispers
Endless, wordless,
Languishing beside the shore.
