Notes About The Poem

While It Lasts

The young fawns are frolicking on the lawn,
nipping and jumping while they are at play
and the doe, with her patience, watches on.

If I remain quiet then they may stay.
I just love this view from my deck today.

The summer will be gone too soon I fear
and with it will go my visiting deer.

I checked out the pic.. is kinda tinier than my not so good eyes can handle, but i got enough of the drift to feel the loveliness... remaining quiet is a high-level skill.. wish you the best in the contest.
