Trip To the Creek

Going on the mule
To that special place
On the creek enjoying
The  cool water negative
Ions that refresh one's
Soul, restoration of 
Spirit for it had been
A week since time to restore

Rocky running, playing
Off and on the mule
Disappears, wonder
Where that dogs gone
Probably off finding 
Really stinky bone
Bleat, bleat, bleat
What is that sound

Is it a goat or sheep
Where is the world 
Would that be coming
From, there are not
Any of those animals
Around here, at least
There has not been
In years and years

Rocky comes into
View with something
Hugh in his mouth
It is being swung
Back and forth
Back and forth
Long legs, very long legs
Why it is a baby deer

He is so proud of his catch
How does one explain
To a rat terrier that
Deer does not fit 
Into the catagory
Of small farm prey
That is on the list
Of animals that he kills

Sara, I really liked this poem. It brought me to a peaceful beautiful place while reading it. In your comment on one of my poems you mentioned for me to soup mail you. I'm not quite sure how to do that since I'm very new at this. Any assistance would be appreciated.
