I thought I had rated this poem, but it indicates I have not. This poem is written so sweetly and gently. I can picture myself being there in the forrest and almost touching this small fawn.

Jason, you wrote to me about it when bookcasing - that's probably why you thought you had already reviewed :-) Thank you so much!! Brooke :-)
Comment from Nicnac
Another fawn poem! Yay.
I love this!
This is so sweet. It has a gentle and quiet feel to it. I can picture you carefully backing away so that you would not disturb it any further.
Oh, Brooke... I'm not going to say it... LOL What I will say is... I'm giving the highest rating possible.
This is one of my favorites!! Beautiful!

It seems to me I've read this bambi poem, whilst in the wood you chose to roam. The dear with fear you did impart, the poor little thing had a panting heart. If it could it would have called for mother, who was out looking for clover in the field just aways from the wood. Great Job. mstad55

brooke,
i remember taking a nature quiz on that one. they said too many people were picking them up thinking they were orphaned. that seems even sadder.
love,

This one is my favorite, so far. You are very talented. Like I said, I don't read poetry very often, but I find your poetry very smooth and a pleasure to read;)

Thank you yet again - I was pleased with the natural flow of this one - perhaps that is why you like it best. Whatever the reason, I am pleased with your response. Brooke :-)
Comment from tteach
While lost among my darkest thoughts,
I found a fawn among the ferns,
and though this was not what I'd sought,
it soon replaced all past concerns
I love how well you write these poems! They seem to come naturally, and each is very different. In this one, the narrator sees a fawn, and then life changes.
It reminds me of what can happen when we open our minds and hearts and search for peace.
well done

Yet another quality write from you...I don't think I've ever tried to write a quatern before. Though I think my style lends itself to it. Thank you for exposing me to this style. Well done and again, it's been a pleasure to read you work.

Comment from Eaglewolf
Beautiful the way you get the imagery across. You can feel your concern for the deer. This poem makes me think of my childhood and how much I loved Bambi as a kid.

Since my mother died when I was in second grade, this was the film that personally affected me the most - we are talking sobbing every single time Momma deer gets shot - I still can't watch the movie without a total meltdown. :-) Valley Forge National Park, only 3 miles from me, is filled with deer - overrun, actually, and it is my favorite place to go just to be with the deer. Thanks, Brooke
Comment from Artasylum
this has layers of thought and depths of life within this very simple look at a fawn that can translate into life's frailties that we must tiptoe away from so as not to stir up our own fears...love, di
