Notes About The Poem

The White Doe and the River of Life

*Image of Patronus by Wizarding World The White Doe and The River Of Life Comes a white doe, quaint sight a wandering, Murmurs, her head swerves about, hesitates, A snow owl offering sky, pondering, Nibble's green herbs with care then elevates, Hooves paves a path, my blue being, surges clear, Alert nose take air, head bent back, above, Unaware, her head drops, tickles my sphere, Cast her spot of me, blanched soul feel her shove, Tempt, I tide my being, yet pursuit was keen, The full breadth of her trots to my chilled beat, She alights her weight to level her being, Trots to shore, genteel flow, dares to repeat, Perchance another day of challenging, Comes a white doe, quaint sight a wandering. 2019 May 12 *1st Place* ALL YOURS(JUN 8) ~~Brian Strand: Judged 2021 June 08

Nicely imaged and narrated, William. The bookending of the (key) first and last line works so well. Best wishes, Gershon
