Notes About The Poem

Deer, Doe, Nature, Wildlife, Fawn

Doe Eyes

Doe eyes 
feminine and fearful 
appear in the darkened woods
sheltered by autumn brush

what beauties
graceful necks and tanned hides
silver and swift

like aliens they stand 
caught in the headlights
of civilization

Very good, but it could have done with more poetic "sprinklers" - some alliteration or unexpected words.

I inhaled your doe description deep inside my own doe imagery reaction all the while thinking of my husband who hunts; such a contradiction! I would hunt, were it necessary for survival, otherwise, those innocent eyes would have me paralyzed with remorse! I think this will place well in the contest, it sure did with me. CayCay
