This is a delightful poem from beginning to end. My friend complains deer eat her tulips every year
I always think, man couldn't I just plant things deer like so they would visit every day?

Thank you for the delightful review and comments. I have a little pool with a bit of water. I think that is one of the reason they come. Some people that want to attract them put out Salt blocks. I love to have them tamer.

This is a well written group of aabb quatrains about how the photo and poem came about. I agree that we should not be mad at animals who eat what we grow if it is their natural food. I disagree about the fence though because I have seen dear jump my chain link fence with no problem.
Congrats on winning the contest.
Keep writing and stay healthy.

Thank you so much for the review and the comments. As too the fence we built, It was six feet and we never had a deer jump over it. We had some rodents go under it. like chipmunks and other animal like rabbits, squirrels and raccoons

Beth,
You are most kindlly welcome. That is the only kind of fence they can't jump over. Yes we've had rabbits go under our fence too.

Comment from Brett Matthew West
If this well crafted poem does not capture the picture, someone tell me what does, and that was the design of this contest. Strong rhymes from the first stanza all the way through. Images painted take the reader step-by-step through the whole process. My one question would be since "spots" is plural should "mean" be plural as well? This should make a very good contest entry.

Thank you for the wonderful review and comments. I wondered about the "mean/means" also but then I substituted pronouns line "It means" and they mean" and the it sounded like the singular pronoun with take the "s" and the plural pronoun with go with
without the "s". I could be wrong.

Oh Beth this is a lovey poem with a lovey picture to go with it!
How lucky you were to come upon this young fawn and catch him in this photo . . . and then tell us all about the deer that can venture into your back yard. Thank you for sharing all of these things with us.

Than you for the lovely comments and the review. I see deer almost every day. Two ran across my driveway when I drove away about an hour ago. I enjoy them when they aren't eating something I don't want to lose.

Wonderful picture that you've managed to capture, and then you've written a very descriptive poem to accompany it. You present some really good images.

Comment from Susan Larson
"It's no use knocking their nature; that wouldn't make any sense." yes, it is what it is to use that tired old saying. Sometimes, you just can't fight it. While the deer passing through don't seem interested in our hosta, the buzzards seem to like using our driveway for a bathroom. Can't do anything about that either. I like your take on the word "nature."

Thank you for the review and the nice comments. The deer used to way until early fall to clean up my hostas. This time of year there are other things they like.

Hi Beth, not only have you taken a wonderful picture of the fawn, but you've also written a lovely poem to go with it. I love the pun in the title. Good luck in the contest. Ulla:)))

Thank you so much Ulla, I appreciate your comments and review. I never saw a wild deer until about twenty years ago. They were brought in by the foresty people because hunters had to go a long way to hunt deer. Now the country is overrun with them.
