The Night Fox by Nicola6
I loved this poem. I could see that fox clearly. This is obviously written by someone who knows foxes!
Vivid images, too:
"His spine bone china"
"the kiss of a viscious lick"
and that subtle internal rhyme that carries you along.
And those final 2 lines - they catch you right there.
Well done.

yes, I love this. Cracking idea too.
I do know foxes, but only of the urban variety. Emaciated old risk takers.
Thanks for your encouraging comments!
