The chase after door was ajar. From window to window, that far. The buzz in my ear, The fly needs to fear. The whiz of my swatter on par. “I’m hit,” says the fly, out of steam. Is it truly dead or a scheme? Over and over… its eyes ice over. I suck up the fly with air stream. Dear Dad, you’ll be happy to...

Premium Member Doe In My Yard
Doe In My Yard I glimpsed out my bedroom window looking for nature's signs giving me clues about what today will bring. A lone doe was nibbling on the southern lawn grass. She slowly raised her head, vulnerably held still for about 10 seconds, and resumed nibbling the grass. Her movement was graceful and relaxed. She stood...

The Hunter and the Doe
Her story is hidden in every third word. Our hunter sought deer. He tracked silently while he bounded over brooks, away, into woods, zigzagging amongst trees, through undergrowth, while the doe jumped dense thickets ahead. Forest birds screeched and took flight, evading chance of danger. It was her he tracked. Instinct and guile kept...

VERSE 1: Hey Jane Doe, native of the Phyle; You've charmed me by your high heel. I'm your John Doe of Treasure Isle; Wearing sherryvallies and argyll. I'm easily offering you a pretty dial, 'cause it so clear you not hostile. Chorus: Come chill with me awhile, And we will grace ourselves without revile. I love the way you smile, And to me...

The soft kiss of spring long past first brushed her face. Since; ravages of winters by the score had left their trace upon this bedraggled body to which no one laid a claim. All hint of where or who she was, erased when found laid gently by the church upon the hallowed ground in desperate hope that some god her...

Frozen Doe
. for public domain (song) She left without a whine. She could not say goodbye. She never had a word to speak. She could not tell a lie. And so I saw her go, where to I'll never know. We sat in silence, she and I, under the falling snow. She closed her eyes to die, not a whimper, not a sigh. I said a soft prayer...
