A Fox in Disguise

[billy]

what out for wordiness, do the caps on every lines add anything to the poem. i've pointed out some line but there are more. watch out when you use a word more than once, it usually detracts from a poem. there are a few more problems but i'll let others point them out.

It happened too quickly

A smudge of soft fur

A wild animal

Of that I was sure is this line needed?

A streak of orange

that just flew by

The blur in my eyes  is this and the line above needed?

A fox in disguise

I now had to find  no need for now as it's a given

this little sleek fox

I knew it had meaning

to this world where I’m lost

Slipping on faith

and holding the glimpse

Of the orange little prophet

That I’d just barely missed

So after my searching,

Off the old beaten trail

I spot an orange cat

With a fox-like tail.



Hi everyone!  New to the forum and really excited to get back into reading and writing poetry!!  This is an old poem I wrote before my life took some interesting turning points, and I was looking for "signs" from everything.
