Hunting haiku

[ChristopherSea]

I see a lot in the poem Jack. I appreciate the tragedy and statement against illegal fox hunting as quarry for hounds in the UK and worldwide. Even fox chasing without the aid of dogs seems a bit cruel to me. I am a supporter of animal preservation in the wild. There are red foxes in my neighborhood and I welcome the one that chases squirrels from my property. I have even observed a fox catching one of those pesky rodents. Your haiku presents a potent contrast between the brilliant sun and dappled leaf pattern on the carcass of the senselessly slaughtered fox.
