Today's prompt is Fox or Foxy and the suggested poetry type is the florette.





I Don't Want Your Soul

Because I’m a redhead, some say
I’m crafty and cunning and fey,
Just like a fox, tricky and sly.
But really, I’m quiet and I don’t like to stray
From comfortable things I know.
I like to live life kind of slow:
I don’t power walk—no, I stroll.
I am calm, I don’t want your soul; I’ll just lie low.

  2. Well done on the form! I barely noticed it in there, which is the way form should be, in my opinion.
    I've always loved redheads, so I can't really relate, neither from the redhead side, nor from the meaner one :)
    Beutiful poem!

  3. I love the title and how it fits with your words. I also enjoyed your enjambment here:
    But really, I’m quiet and I don’t like to stray
    From comfortable things I know.

    Thank you! xoA
