Crazy as a Fox

Sleeping in a meadow of flowers

Wandering carefree through sunshine beams 

brushing against flowers embracing the day 

wanting to find the scent of easy prey... 

When night falls and passion pursues the moon 

the longing will play a familiar tune of Claire de lune 

as I guide you to my seaside private cave... 

Whereas the stars shine sweetly over the soft 

waves of the windswept sea where once 

your ship had anchored in the cove of love... 

I have found my purpose of being here 

with the scent of summer rain and love's gain 

clinging to Midsummer's dream that you will stay

Certainly not crazy as a fox, Pat......

This poem oozes with a drowsy sense of beauty; one can almost find themselves drifting in this scenery, in a carefree wandering, taking in the sights and sounds of the beauty all around while quietly musing on the love's of the past. Your poems are always filled with the wonders of nature; things we seem to take for granted so much in this hectic modern age. And this is another poetic gem of which Gaia herself would be fond of.

Wonderfully delicate poetry, Pat.

dear Doodley, you have introduced me to the world of Gaia (also spelled Gaea) in Greek mythology... the personification of the Earth and one of the Greek primordial deities. Gaia is the ancestral mother of all life. Also, learning on google... Gaia is an ambitious mission to chart a three-dimensional map of our Galaxy, the Milky Way. I am indebted to you for introducing me all the facets of Gaia. you may be the muse for my next poem. truly, Pat

Always welcome, Pat. I look forward to reading that next poem.

When you can poetically/adroitly slip in the Bard and "get away with it," then you've created a poem for the reader that rings true down through the poetic ages. Your languid pacing had me wanting to take a nap and bring it all with me as I dozed. I would stay

[Patricia Wedel]

dear C.M. I adore Gaelic and Scottish music and poetry. I am inspired by nature and how welll birds and animals survive and seem to procreate in the most romantic settings. Truly, Pat

dear Sami... your heart print is appreciated on my version of passion in nature along the seaside where Fox 🦊 and creatures come to play. Happy Fourth of July 2018 ... truly, Pat

[Sami Khalil]

Same to you. You are welcome.

Again, a very spring feel to your words. Perhaps the recent good weather has been as nice a surprise to you as it has been to me, although we have a storm right now :(
I can definitely feel the breeze washing over your words as the aromatherapy of spring adds another dimension to your words.

[Patricia Wedel]

Lorry... thanks for your delightful review.
Meadows are alive with flowers of merriment. truly, Pat

Love this little poem about nature and the red fox. You paint such beautiful imagery with your words. Could imagine myself in those meadows filled with wild flowers. Our foxes are quite bold, I woke to hear one almost barking in the early morning a couple of weeks ago. Walking bold as brass down our road. We are right on the edge of countryside, so he had strayed a little way. Lovely combination of stars, sea, meadows and flowers to keep your readers happy. Thank you Patricia.

It is rare to see a Fox, but really Cool that you saw one . Hope your summer is full of pleasant days. truly, Pat

' I have found my purpose of being here .. .. with the scent.. .. '

Your words are going to be my Linus blanket for today... Every line holds something i truly love and need. Would share it all with those who genuinely care about our world and its glories. But, but for those who rush past like crafty foxes deflowering anythuing in their path... well, there are a few two-legged ones who just have to 'tread on the grass'! Your words truly are so lovely.. always.

[Patricia Wedel]

dear Emma... “but for those who rush past like crafty foxes 🦊 deflowering anything in their path” is a thought that is worth its weight in gold... if the truth be told... On the other hand ‘Crazy like a Fox’ is just a bit of a pun for fun in this poem. Love your Linus blanket for the day. Your review is refreshing as early morning dew... foggy foggy dew... like in “All I did was keep her from the foggy foggy dew”. Burl Ives sings that Song so sweetly. truly, Pat

Waving as i make for the stairs to make for the oven to make what i can with.. the dish of tomorrow! Would you believe, people have got wind of my present part.time dalliance with food and have asked if i'd like to cater for a 'do'! Yet to think of a polite way of putting my answer! (You)

[Patricia Wedel]

Wow! May your romance with food stir the pot and passion delight the pallet... My son has two young girls to cook for and sends me cookies and his own recipes from Utah to Virginia... from the west coast to the east coast USA. xx

[emmajoy]

Sweet news, thanks lots for sharing. xx

This poem has all the imagery that delights me! You’ve taken so many of my familiar favorites & woven them together into a whole new experience. I love how this could be from a fox’s point of view, whether 2-legged or 4-legged. I love how you join seaside imagery with flowers & the universe. There are too many details for me to mention, but I love them all. This is so similar to the enraptured way I feel when I think about the ocean that’s just over the mountain from where I live. Thanks for read-requesting me & feel free to do that anytime, becuz I don’t want to miss your new postings (((HUGS))) Fondly, Margie

[Patricia Wedel]

dear Margie... I have always loved the red fox and I always wish that the hounds never catch one. After all they surely have a life full of desire and rendevouz. Thanks for experiencing the romance of the seaside. truly, Pat

[Sami Khalil]

The fox and foxy, the sight and sounds, the sea and the waves, the beach and the cove of love; what more do we need to enjoy it all. You say much in a beautiful language.

[Patricia Wedel]

dear Sami... the flowers by the Sea speak a language of Love... the Fox is very sly when walking by... Thanks for reading and feeling the romance of it all. truly, Pat

[Sami Khalil]

So true. You are welcome.

[Lydia Shutter]

Crazy like a fox in love if you ask me....hoping his "prey" will stay through his romantic dream. Claire de lune is such a sweet melody....I could hear it in my mind as I read your words. As always, the imagery is so pretty...your lines so lilting, gentle, soft. Beautiful, Pat. Lydi**

[Patricia Wedel]

dear Lydia... a Fox in love is a phenomenon
that personifies the poetry of nature at its best.... the Quest of the sea where ships are moored avec l’amour ... truly, Pat

[Coyote Poetry]

Wonderful and gentle flow of words dear Pat.
"Whereas the stars shine sweetly over the soft
waves of the windswept sea where once
your ship had anchored in the cove of love.."
I love the above lines. Thank you for sharing the amazing poetry.
Coyote

[Patricia Wedel]

dear John... the meadows flowers by the sea can be very intoxicating with the passion of the sea and the motion of the waves. I appreciate your stopping by to sip the nectar of the flowers. truly, Pat

[Coyote Poetry]

You are welcome Pat. I enjoyed this poem.
