Notes About The Poem
My husband planted a Walnut Tree and the young buck ruined it so we thought but it survived...

When they have antelers this size, they will ruin young trees..They don't rub on big trees but seek out tiny ones..

Young Buck

.
                                         Young buck with antlers
                                      Newly planted black walnut..
                                          Rubbing up and down

Nicely written Haiku, you have certainly mastered this form. I just seem to get spurts of the form, bak to the classroom for me. I have read Doris's poems, she's taking after her mum>>James
