Sounds of Fall

the tiptoeing deer
 
 crunching through the fall leaves
    
     ...sound like elephants





for Andrea's Fall Animal Haiku contest

I like what you wrote cause i like to deer hunt.. and yes your are very right indeed they can sould like a elephant. ,,, they can sure scare you some times . Good write with just a few words.. I have never tried this style Haiku , I guess i like to talk to much. anyways you do a pretty good job with it ,,

Smiles -- yes, even the gentlest doe makes quite a sound moving through the crisp, crackling autumn leaves, Francine. Excellent entry for Andrea's contest! Wishing you success. Love, Carolyn
