The Black Fox Of Legends Poem by Aubrey Silver

it was a long and bright night
and not a soul chould be seen on the streets or on the side walks
but past the city limits was the enchanted wood one soul walked
i came from its hole and any mear mortal whould have cryed devil
it rose sleeply from its hollowed den. its task soon to be at hand
it set out about 4 feet then as it reached the city it stood on 2
it strode past a house. the house child watching tv as it went.
the child saw its fur was the color of a starless night
the child began to scream and it turned its head
its eyes were like burning coals. it passed and went on
it reached the park when it went back to 4 feet
it then lied on the grass and went to sleep
its task now complete for word travels fast
now the all shall know the legends to be true
there are those that go bump in the night
but there is no one left to bump back
