I love the construction of this write, Gypsy. The deer drinking at dawn, unaware of danger. The hunter silently approaching.
The reader knows what will happen. No need to spell it out.

I think it should be "hunter's steps" unless you had another meaning in mind.

Beautiful work.

Stay safe and blessed

Julia

it's that silence that portends danger here, Gypsy, and your reader can almost see the deer stop and look/listen... :) Well done, my lady -- thanx for sharing! ;) Yvette

doe drinks chilled water
in the early light of day --
can't hear hunter steps

The reader can hear the loud sound of the bullet, which will shatter the calm of this scene.

GBR,

OK, satori gets changed along with doe. Either ending is a good one. The original had the animal as the hunter, now we substitute the dreaded human (-;

Your selected picture is haunting.

Another fine poem, Gypsy--and hunting is a sport (?) that absolutely sickens me. If they'd just take a camera instead of a gun when they sneak up on an animal, I can understand that, but to blow it away?

What a beautiful poem with a nice picture for the Renga book. Whose accent did dow smell? Running away due to a danger memory is reasonable. Even a young dow has it. So smart.

Well done.

OKay, is it me, or should the spelling be "doe" rather than "dow"??? I couldn't find a variant in the dictionary...

That aside, this is a very apt verse to follow June Sargent's couplet. Brings "muscle memory" to a whole new level!

Nice--Karenina

Thanks for the cool picture and the very alliterative 5-7-5. Do you mean "doe" for the first word? I don't know what a "dow" is. I really like the emotional description of the doe running from her memories!
