Haiku correspondence between a pair of lovers, a fox and a wolf.


Letters

Young wolf climbs the hill

Draws water, drinks deep his fill

Returns to the mill.

Wistful fox watches

Sings soft, each note he botches

His paws paint swatches.

Wry wolf Miller's son

Never gets to have his fun

Nightly moonlit run.

Silent forest prowl

Odd vulpine voyeur an owl

Startled by the howl.

Wretched wolf so rude

Touched himself in manners lewd

Words and whispers crude.

Torrid Tod teases

Wolf's to do as wolf pleases

Sees, never seizes.

Father dear once reigned

Noble fox by day is chained

So he paints unpained.

Wolf among the flock

Foxy fingers could unlock

Find their way to cock.

Caravan comes through

If wolf is there, wolf comes too

Fox could start anew.

Long and hard will hump

Buried deep in fox's rump

Wary of road bump.

Yet wolf never came

ust another summer flame

Younger hearts to claim.
