In my front yard are Red Oaks, these are Live Oak I think..Deer come to feed on the acorns and anything else that they can eat..I have never seen the deer eat the Ginko leaves which are used as medicine..The leaves make a tea that helps with circulation thereby helping with brain function and longevity..Thanks for the challenge..Sara

. Large oaks drop acorns Delicious fall winter food Deer enjoy bounty Ginko radiant yellow Those leaves helps deer's cognition In honor of Francine Robert's "The View~A Tanka" Writtten by: Sara Kendrick September 10 and 11, 2011 *Note Click on:"About This Poem" I have never seen the deer eat the Ginko though..

What a lovely description - is ginko the stuff people take as a sort of energy booster/pickmeup?

What a delightful view you have described, Sara. I'm sure the deer are out there when you're not looking. I do hope we can meet one day. If you live near Callaway, you must have beautifl property. (Didn't know the leaves helped deer's cognitive powers. Very interesting) Wishing you success in Francine's contest. Love, Carolyn
