George D. Miller Poet Rhyme

The Pond

Glistening like a mirror
The turbulent waters stilled
Reflecting insects skittering
The call of a whippoorwill

Subtle riffles across the pond
Caused by a summer breeze,
A magical movement close to the edge
Caused me to stop and freeze

For their approached a lovely sight
Brown fur a glistening in the light
Her brown eyes shining brightly
As she looked both left then right

With caution she approached the pond
She dipped her head to drink
I dare not move lest she sees me
And be gone within a blink

Nervously she turned her head
Looked back from whence she came
A pair of spotted little ones
Had followed her again

She turned to look directly at 
Those two adorable deer
When a noise back in the underbrush
Caused large antlers to appear


And then the muscled body
Of their Daddy did appear
Like two disobedient children
They fled back towards the rear

The doe stepped boldly close to him
Put her nose up near his face
Then softly nuzzled along his cheek
In a sweet romantic embrace 

Another crack of a broken limb
Caused chaos near the pond
Both deer reeled a running 
And like lightening they were gone

I'm often back standing near that pond
With hopes I'll luckily see
The buck, the doe and grown-up fawns
The magnificent deer family
