Sanctuary Necessary

Camouflage afoot
hooves trembling
don't stay put
run aground disassembling
hurry shroud apparel
fortress in view
departure from the barrel
exemption you blew
woe
go



* It's hunting season, so I thought I would write about the poor deer :(

The deer is one of my power animals. I cringe whenever I hear a gunshot in November.

Angie, sometimes I feel like that deer, I just want to retreat to a safe, quiet place. Nice writing. I like your new avatar! ~ John

Thank you very much, Vijay. :) It's about a deer getting away from a hunter.
