Jump Kick Bite
Fly from a funny game fox
here, give him high jumps
kicks may try me
but if they like the train
would you come
last little playthings
Some kind of hit toy
her tricks made him
jump ship–why not
nothing about big books
or his hands
all about
mother’s kind wish

Say Something
Playthings, mess
Jumps
Shake, thump, kicks
Fear
Hands hold
Dark games shame
Tame mouse,
She should run away
Would not
Could not
Now home is a box
Deep and cold
Near her mother’s bed

The Green Fox, the Pink Fox, the White Fox, the Red Fox
sat with the Trick-Show Cat with his fan in his hat
in the house in the dark of the Sunny Shine Wood
us we want was way we well went were wet what when who why will wish their wish be made that they may find:
The Green Fox Box which may be in the bed on the train
The Pink Fox Box put on the top of a tree
The White Fox Box that was let fly in the rain
The Red Fox Box nothing can see
Which box would you take
by book and by hook?
What will you say
after May should you look?
in to the cold deep dark box
picked from a Sunny Shine fox

Sunny strings
I
am
a cat–
I come and go.
No box or hand can hold me
No wall too high
I jump
like nothing
My tail tip thumps–
a mouse
a string
a toy–
why yes, you can play, too

Dark Rain
Fear the rain, the plop,
the pat, pat, pat in the dark,
it will come for you.
