A Deer Stalks
Night stampedes wind-horses. I edgily negotiate the sharp corners of swerving shadows. The hind hoof of a doe slaps the reflection of my startled face, the Chevy twitches, plows on - headlights rake the earth. From a rear-view mirror I see myself prone on the asphalt, terrified limbs still stamping over a shell-shocked mind. The deer chased its bones, disappearing into the sight unseen. Night dropped its iron...

Dears and Darlings
Trees of powder, Delicate and firm. They conceal my feathers of frost. I perch myself by all that glitters All that warms, and all that flickers. I perch myself by candlelight Snug in my nest of yarn. My dearest deer is lost today. The other starlings fly away. Drifting off, a state of slumber Filling me with fear, but wonder. My nest of yarn, it cradles...

The Fear of the Deer
We all want to grow But growth brings you fear For what does a doe Know better than a deer They might be able to play And run around all day But the deer know fear And they feel when death draws near And so does’ watch out For innocence should be treasured The seed of knowledge will sprout then your days will be...

Premium Member Enchanted deer enters Exquisite Forest
Whispers of an enchanted deer wafted through the oaks and the lilies The exquisite forest came alive with new fantastical creatures Roses are always doubters, so they disagreed with their thorns But most of the flowers were open to the rumor, eager to see the deer A gentle breeze preceded the deer into the thicket of florals The deer was...

Bambi’s Revenge
The hunter laughed, his rifle bright, his boots like thunder in the night-- but deep within the twisted trees, something stirred among the leaves. Not a whisper, not a sound, just breath like smoke along the ground. A shadow moved--too fast, too wrong, its eyes like embers burning strong. "You took her life, now you will see--" "the price of blood belongs to me." The...

Premium Member When I Bring Home a Deer
When I bring home a deer... to live in our living room, my roommate won't hear of it. Fear of what? I will ask. He has no horns. He eats only oats, but not yours only; I bought him some food. He's not even hairy. I'm not even sorry I brought him home. He'll sleep with me on the floor of the...

Premium Member Twitchys Baby Sassy
The fawn arrived at one o’clock on a sunny Sunday In the middle of Australia, where her mother had consumed bits of hay The birth was easy, onlookers were silent, loving their deer This fawn, named Sassy, was glad she was born in the meadow here Some deer are born into an anxious, hunter’s kind of world, but not...

The Animals They Talk
Venus Casts a tiny shadow Upon the ghostly snow From its candle held by an extended hand Of a cloaked man Who trips through the stripped trees Follows the fresh trail of reindeer To our second-floor windowsills Then on to rooftops lined with owls Comet tails thrashing through the oval Stars The kids pretend to sleep To the faint smell of hay Their red stockings overflow with candy...

Premium Member woods are scarier at night
The dark woods felt threatening tonight Renee had no idea why but she felt fearful The farther she walked, the scarier things got The shadows seemed to have eyes; she felt watched. She turned, thinking maybe she should head back to the house. But it felt even creepier and more ominous in that direction. If she survived the night, she resolved...
