Your minute poem is exceptional in every respect--skillfully written, according to the standards; vividly descriptive of the woodland scene, and very appealing--so expressive.

Oh, Sally, you have spoilt me today! Thank you so very much for giving me another of your precious golden stars! I'm delighted you liked reading this one, and that you liked the pictures. I went out yesterday with my camera this time and saw a fawn, it was amazing, he stook looking at me as I looked at him. Lol, I managed to get two lovely photos. I'll be keeping everyone now because I'm going to write a book of poems around my walks, complete with my own photos. I'm so pleased you enjoyed this one, thank you, dear friend. Sending more hugs your way! :)) Sandra xxxx

Good morning, Alie, thank you so much for this thoughtful review! I am enjoying my home, and couldn't be happier. Your comments on my poem are really lovely, I couldn't ask for a better response to my words because that's how I felt as I wandered around. Thank you for that, and thank you for the good luck wishes! Have a wonderful day, my friend. :)) Sandra xxx

I believe God has been watching over me for a while, He knew how very worried and sad I was. I never thought I'd live where I am, and it really does seem to me that God made it possible. I can't think of any other way I'd be here. I'm going to write a book load of poems about my walks, and take photos of all the wonderful things I see along the way. My camera will be with me all the time now! Lol. Thank you, dear friend, for your lovely words, and the best wishes. My prize has already been won in what God has given me. I'm so happy, Helen! Thanks again and lots of hugs. :)) Sandra xxx

Thank you, Nancy, I couldn't be happier. I'm going to take my camera with me in future and use my own photos to put with the poems I'm going to write about my walks. It will be a lovely pasttime, and I get loads of fresh air and exercise. :)) Thanks, dear friend, for the good luck wishes, that's so sweet of you. Sending you much love and hugs. :)) Sandra xxx

Hi Sandra,
The first two stanzas and artwork remind me of my walks I take every day.
It seems there are more deer around this year than last.
It is right to be thankful for such beauty.
Good luck in the contest.
Keep writing and stay healthy.

I've just taken a few photos of a fawn, so small and so cute. I'm glad I had my camera on me this time. I'm so glad you have a similar walk to me, it's such a wonderful feeling being at one with nature. Thanks so much, Joan, for your lovely review. Warm hugs. Sandra xxx

reply by dragonpoet on 18-Jul-2021

I had a fawn stuck in my backyard. It seems the fawn was able to jump the gate after its mother but couldn't make it over the back fence. A neighbor halped catch it and she picked it up and put it on the other side. There seem to be more deer around this year.
Keep writing and stay healthy

Another reviewer told me the same thing. I wonder why that is. It's nice though! It seems to me that fawn was clever to follow mom, but still had a lot to learn. Thank goodness your neighbour managed to catch it and put it back on the other side. :)) Thanks again, Joan. xxx

Maybe its a positive effect of the pandemic. No one could go out and hunt.
