Notes About The Poem

Piebald Furry Deer

Hush o'er azure stone ridge, 
hypnotic wax moon dash,
wispy crescent rustle from,
a piebald furry deer,
nocturnal stealth enshrouded,
silver tint antler scoops,
limp orange leaf detritus,
canopy of maroon ink, 
black mist dewdrops spill,
corral Northern Bobwhite quest,
shuddersome elk teeters on, 
bituminous coal summit,
cast a pearl oyster glance,
 into an uncanny  precipice,
enigmatic phenocryst ravines,
spellbound immersive trickle,
species of the dome shape,
muted in clandestine trot,
oe’r mushroom quandary in crossing,
to slink away the eerie stillness

Great imagery, Howard. Seems like I haven't heard from you in a long time!

What a spectacularly beautiful nature poem, Howard. Bravissimo, good friend. I saw a recent photo of a Western North Carolina piebald deer. They're quite pretty. Have a restful Sunday evening!
