Myōbu are the white fox messengers of the harvest goddess Ta-no-Kami.
Your prompt is MYŌBU
Bushy tail held high
Ghost white ears, erect, listening
For thieves in the field
It is thought that foxes became associated with rice fields because their fluffy tails resemble mature rice stalks and because they are often seen in the fields at dusk, where they hunt thieving rodents.
Waving in the breeze,
the field is her tail and the
earth her warm body
Sometimes my horror haikus end up not horror at all 😅. 🦊
