Gershon Wolf Poet Couplet

A Spotted Fawn

Rolling hills, alive with hydrangea and thyme
  O'er cavernous quarries of sapphire and lime
Darting monarchs, tiger swallowtails
  Artwork on the wing, a-lighting in the dale

A tender, spotted fawn startles awake
  My awkward footsteps her slumber shakes
She pirouettes away, with virtuoso leaps
  Each elegant stride, mine forever to keep

Sam Kauffman July 6, 2020 at 12:54 PM Every word is a picture in your portrait of this special moment when you and nature meet for just a minute. This is as delicate as the picture you paint for us. Peaceful yet filled with action! Again, reminds me of Sandburg. Congratulations! This is just lovely. A fav for me. Shalom!

Caren Krutsinger July 5, 2020 at 11:07 PM Deer does pirouette. Well penned my friend. Gershon Wolf July 6, 2020 at 3:44 PM After the dainty pirouette, the deer became Rudolf Nureyev, bounding away like a broad-jumper on steroids, ('so to speak.'). ~ Boing
