Beautiful Buck

Beautiful Buck Eyes soft brown With lashes black Hanging down Long whiskers Twitch on his chin Tapered muzzle nose Snorts at the wind Ears twitching below An eight point rack His switching tail Jerks fro and back A taste of Nature's elegance I stare at him and he at me Then he spins one hundred And eighty degrees to flee White tail flag waving To his strides rhythm Back into the woods Last I'll see of him Beautiful Buck Thanks for the thrill I came to watch Not to kill

LOVE this. I love a hunter, but I could not shoot a Bambi, unless hunger decreed I must. I wonder why it is so special to humans when we see a wild animal, but not to animals when they see us! This is indeed a sweet beauty and so very well written ... CayCay

Hunting season starts today here in PA. May our resident deer whom we feed during the winter, survive. Thank you for the complimentary review.
