Beth, I live near several wooded areas, and deer are spotted often before argh: hunting season. The photo above is very beautiful. I like your poem, you seem to be a nature lover. You express it well in your words. Excellent work. Best wishes today and always.

The author's words are descriptive, interesting, clear and creative.
The author words conveys the beauty of nature with her love for it as well.
The artwork goes so well with this poem.
Have a great day!

I enjoyed reading your contest entry. It flowed smoothly and I could make mental images as I read. We, do have many deer in our neighborhood. We're right on the edge of town. Deer seem to tease my husband. LOL Good luck with the contest.

    Thank you Barbara, I'm glad you liked my poem. The deer seem to tease my dog. She doesn't know whether she is supposed to bark or run.

very interesting and well written poem
the word imagery is excellent...I was on your property with you the entire time
love the title...really whimsical
your pictured image is also great

I know you might be in America and that you have lots of words over there spelled differently to us here in Australia but I was just wondering about "foliage" and the "follage" in your poem ....is that another one of those unique words we spell differently
like cheque and check or tyre and tire
here cheque is the money one and check is to check something out
our car tyres but your car tires here means to tire out when over exhausted ....funny hey
blessings
have a smiley day

    Thank you for the review and lovely comments. You are correct about the work foliage. Evidently it is a word that is misspelled a lot. I looked it up and the net listed many Follage plants for sale.

    it is difficult for us when even the net can have differing ideas of the English language

You did a smashing job with both the poem and the picture of the fawn. Venison is a good meat to eat since it is virtually fat free. You need to add fat so doesn't dry out when cooking. Well written!

    Thank you for the review and comments. There is only a brief time in November when hunters are allowed to kill deer and only males. In my neighborhood we aren't supposed to shoot firearms so these deer with be free to roam.

Sorry, Beth! I have no more sixes. And you so earned them with this lovely poem. A contest poem, with a perfectly followed rhyme scheme, a beautiful photo, and an interesting description of your lucky hunt and fabulous fawn.
Hope you win!

This is written so well. We see see deer every now and then run across the expressway. We live in the city and sometimes they come out of the forest preserve and get lost. They are so beautiful. You are so lucky they are right in your yard!

    Thank os much for the review and comments. That is dangerous when deer cross and expressway. They cause wrecks. Be careful.

What a perfect subject you found in your walk! Bambi! I'm glad she didn't see you. The photograph was perfect and your poem brought it to life. Great entry for the contest.
