Vulpine

Each day (except Sundays) in April, I'm writing poems with some obscure words starting with the letter of the day, and then doing a small watercolor to go with it.  Today's Letter is V in this Blogging A to Z Challenge.  

Vulpine

Sweet, versute vixen of wooded glen
Mid viridity has made her den.
She meanders on a the sheltered trail  
Close to smallish game in vale.

A frog, a rat, a mouse or vole
She’ll carry back to sheltered hole
Where kits will play with evening meal
Before consuming prey with zeal.

Thank you to The Phrontistery for providing lots and lots of lesser used words!

Vixen - female fox
Versute - crafty; wily
Vulpine  of, like or pertaining to foxes, cunning
Viridity - greenness; freshness
