Fox sleeps
Under a whipped cream moon
Dabbed into the sky
By the baker Goddess.
Fox curls
In her deep blue bed
With her kit's heart beating
Soft against her side.
Red fox, white fox,
Mad fox, mine,
As you dream, I'll whisper sweet things
Thirteen times.

I've only seen one fox--in the wild--in my lifetime, and it was a magical moment.

Perfect title for this one. Sweet, and not in that nasty artificially sweetened way. Sometimes the short poems say the most.
