NEIGHBORS

NEIGHBORS

Eight deer are resting on the slope –
The watchful one alerts her pose
To watch me watching from the door –
I’m sowing birdseed on the porch.

The others waken from their bed –
From comforters that lightly spread
With sage and shadow as a screen –
Their soft hides hidden – sometimes seen.

Last year we had several deer visit our yard, seeking the water in our pond--such a delight! Didn't mind their early pruning of the roses....
