if foxes could write
surely then would be their choice
feathers to quill haunts

teeth clasped feather
there is a hunger for more
daylight progresses

daylight
the one that got away
or the one eaten

always in the wild
with the catch of predators
unanswered questions

sated of daytime
a golden glow of evening
hides a tired sun

birds tend to roost
the high branches of evening
beneath greying sky

eventide
where will the lioness meet
with her mate

In these spring days,
when tranquil light encompasses
the four directions,
why do the blossoms scatter
with such uneasy hearts?

...he riddle is probably one of the very oldest poetical techniques. It has been guessed that early spiritual knowledge was secretly preserved and passed along through riddles. Because poetry, as it is today, is the commercialization of religious prayers, incantations, and knowledge, it is no surprise that riddles still form a serious part of poetry's transmission of ideas.The 'trick' is to state the riddle in as puzzling terms as possible. What can one say that the reader cannot figure out the answer?
