White Tail Deer

Eating cavier(fifty dollar shrubs)
Walking on lush green lawns(spinach, squash, and english peas)
Sleeping in clover(blackberry orchards)

Frozen in his tracks, a white tail deer hesitates to crack the gilded grass

Premium Member Deer Standing Still

the deer standing still
                 stared at me from the bare trees
                             highlight of white tail

Premium Member the deer

I heard a sigh, a shudder and a cough
glimpsed a white tail as she took off
it was a startled deer, very young
she jumped those brambles in a leap of one

Premium Member nomadic nuisance

ambulatory itinerant vagabond
nomadic nuisance
feared by some
adored by others

wayfaring wood tick
travels on white tail deer
enjoying his journey and beast’s blood


Premium Member satisfied walnut tree

walnut tree was now slightly blemished
deer had done lots of damage
getting his antlers off
tree did not mind
felt like a willing partner
available every year
he smiled as white tail flew into thicket

Deer

Deer
Deer running through the forest,
As graceful as can be,
Her white tail in the air,
Saying "I know you're there",
As majestic as this beast could be,
It will be in great agony,
For the motorized beast has caught it.

Premium Member my power animal

A hoarse cough in the thicket
Frightening me. I did not realize
It is the trait of my power animal.
Now I do, so it will be as scary next time.
I saw the beast’s white tail as she leapt the fence.

cough from thicket
white tail deer leaps the fence
power animal

Premium Member Squirrels and White Tailed Deer

scitter scatter I hear the squirrels before I see them
their tails are fluffy and prominent, they chase each other
run straight up a tree, the leaves sound crunchy
a deer bounds into a thicket, I see the white tail
my eyes delight in the oranges, reds and yellows of the leaves

Premium Member Sweet Dreams, World

The hour draws late
    horse is in the barn
  Children tucked in bed
    cat's put away her yarn

  Moon looms up in the sky
    high over mountains and hills
  Planes ease onto runways
    Elders remove dentures, take pills

  Quiet settles into hill and vale
    No sighting of deer's white tail

Premium Member Three of my Power Animals

the dogs were barking as if mass murderers were lurking in our bushes
It was dusk, difficult to see, but then, I spotted a fluffy white tail
A mama deer followed by two fawns; the dogs went wild
I was glad the dogs were confined to their dog porch with wire sides
They cannot get through it, so my power animals were safe

Hey you, dog!
With your white tail tipping past my window
Or your face, tricolor, pressed against the glass,
I can see you even in the dark garden, 
But now our garden games are past.

The couch stretched out beside me for a day or two,
The water bowl still full and going green.
The door bell rings and I'm alone to answer.
Frankie Boy! Bad dog! I thought I'd be the one to leave.

Night Deer

The dark drives wind-horses.
They enter the car through your eyes
as you side-slip bends,
veer from contorted shadows.

Once, the hind hoof of a doe
slapped at your face,
the Chevy twitched,
it plowed onward
into the frozen hide of the earth.

When you looked through the rear mirror
you saw yourself
prone and trembling on the asphalt,
while the white-tail escaped
through the iron anvil of night.

Shooting an 8 Prong Buck

Late in the afternoon,
long shadows drive in-roads,
between paths of sunlight.

Got my Nikon on.
Locked and loaded.

The white tail just came too close,
got him!
Man did he fly when he heard,
the whir and click of a live camera!

Shot him startled and looking,
shot him leaping.
Took him down
as he disappeared
back into the deep woods.

Man,
I think I will hang
his big old beautiful head
on a wall,
somewhere at the back of my brain
forever.

Premium Member Piper In the Woodlands

piper’s heart is full of joy
he scampers the water with joy
the brook gurgles a woodland greeting

balmy light wind twinkles leaves
they frolic in a lively happy way
the day is light, the minnows are dashing

piper scoops up some cool water and takes a drink
his hands are cold now, but worth it
there is a cough. He knows what it means.

He searches, but the woods are a great concealer.
He smiles as he glimpses the tiny white tail
of the deer as she bounds over a thicket

Premium Member Dusk In the Meadow

Dusk in the meadow lures a fawn and her doe to the oak tree
Where she butts bird feeders with her snout against the hard trunk.
Yellow and black seeds flow in a stream down to the ground
A small sound startles them
The mother’s tail twitches.
Both turn statuesque
Poised. Waiting.
Listening. They are both staring.
My dog catches sight of them now.
She runs toward them, barking.
They turn and ballet themselves into a thick hedge
The last thing I see is a flickering white tail.
