A Spotted Fawn

Rolling hills, alive with hydrangea and thyme O'er cavernous quarries of sapphire and lime Darting monarchs, tiger swallowtails Artwork on the wing, a-lighting in the dale A tender, spotted fawn startles awake My awkward footsteps her slumber shakes She pirouettes away, with virtuoso leaps Each elegant stride, mine forever to keep July 05, 2020 Strand Completely New (5) Contest Sponsor: Brian Strand

Every word is a picture in your portrait of this special moment when you and nature meet for just a minute. This is as delicate as the picture you paint for us. Peaceful yet filled with action! Again, reminds me of Sandburg. Congratulations! This is just lovely. A fav for me. Shalom!

Your comments are just so nice to read, Sam... Comparing me to Sandburg... Whoa! I couldn't hold the pen he wrote with, but my hair's a little darker at least. lol. Thanks for the FAVE too! ~ Gershon
