The Whiskey Taster’s Flavor Guide

Offspring of the Wood

We locked eyes you and I; your onyx rounds held me in their grip until my mind was read. Brother of the woods I wish no harm; your sensuous visage, displaying its power, cannot match the engine’s bulk... Go back brother deer go back and beautify the greenwood; you do not need my world; the collector’s are unkind.

The collectors "are unkind" - I hope brother deer realized and scampered away quickly.

A beautiful nature scene. The shared bond between humans and a fellow creature is an experience many of us can relate to. You capture the essence of it in this fine poem.
