Fox in the Backyard

 

Sun is spreading its brightness on the apple tree

in the Parson’s house backyard

July morning with a little chill and light wind

greets the noon day

A fox is sleeping in the sunshine and there is

no one around to disturb

It is corona time and all are in quarantine

and fox has his ‘fox-time’

Apple tree with apples in green to grow bigger

and reddish brown to pick

An apple fall might wake him up to the sound

of a stone-throw thunder

Where it comes from and “who in the world

is watching me in my slumber”

Fox made Parsonage ground a fox-habitat

right in the middle of a city

Walls around are high and hard to reach

to jump and cross over

Foxish jump is spring-ridden and easy

reached the top and out it goes.
