(Poem 298 for 2024 – I am writing a poem a day)
Fox liked to roam
all the day long
amidst the toadstools
humming a song.
While he meandered
he’d think big thoughts,
ponder serious ideas,
untangle life’s knots.
He wondered if someday
he’d find a mate,
discover his purpose,
become something great.
The forest already
knew each answer:
he was destined for love
and to become a dancer,
an artist, a writer,
a ninja, a sensei,
a father, and a friend,
to show others the way.
He had no idea
what the future would be,
but everyone he met
could already see
that Fox was destined
to become folklore;
his influence expanding
generations and more.
