Moment of Decision-Tanka

Water's quiet pool Silent movement of a deer Anticipation Darting motion of the eyes A twig snaps, thirsty deer flees Quiet water still 4/18/14 contest Tanka(s)

Frederic, when we see deer in the wild, we have to move very quietly. They hear everything. The deer likely return after dark to drink. Enjoyed this captivating poem! Congratulations on your win! Best Wishes, Carolyn
