I wish I had a six for this. I just love it. We have a Gander Mountain, and beautiful stuffed animals are everywhere. They make me sad. Blessings....

Comment from nancy_e_davis
Oh, that is a beautiful animal and he should still be out there on the mountain enjoying his life as before. Poor animal. I wonder if he was food or just a trophy. Nice Kyrielle Sonnet Tom. Nancy

Comment from Dolly'sPoems
I have never understood the need to stuff animals, and I know that many museums display stuffed dangerous beasts, but it is somehow alien, a goat on a wall is a new idea, your poem highlights this phenomenon, love Dolly x

Comment from His Grayness
Excellent lesson as example of this uncommon poetic style. The photo is a real strong addition to this and holds the reader strongly into the poem. The poem is perfect in rhyme and pace and I enjoyed the entire experience with many thanks to the author. HIS GRAYNESS: Vance

Comment from robyn corum
Tom,
Poor, poor thing! I certainly hope no one is going hunting for mountain goats!! *smile* That would seem odd to me. But then, what do I know about hunting, right? A lovely sonnet, though. I enjoyed!

Thank you Robin. I do all my hunting and shooting with a camera. Glad you liked my poem.
Comment from Poetic Friend
There is something about stuffed and mounted animals that always bothers me. Sometimes I wonder if the animal was killed for the sole purpose of mounting and stuffing.
You told the story well of Majestic the goat. Good choice to your the Kyrielle Sonnet poetic form because of the repetition, which works extremely will in this story.
Thank you for sharing.

Comment from Pantygynt
Why did I laugh at this? The bathos in the refrain line I think. All that about this wonderful creature, and then how he ended up in every quatrain, and the couplet as well. What can I add but:
How pride cometh before a fall
now stuffed and mounted on a wall.

Comment from Joan E.
Your photograph reminds me of the views inside Hemingway's Cuba house, where he displayed many examples of his big game "trophies". I am glad the sportmen's store inspired another sonnet. I admired your rhymes and repeats as you saluted the "Majestic Mountain Goat". Cheers- Joan

Comment from Cindy Warren
I always feel sad when I see them stuffed and mounted. Kind of gives me the willies, too. I just can't fathom wanting to do that. I'd much rather see them alive. Great job with the sonnet.

Comment from MaggieF
I wonder if the owner of the store would like to be stuffed and mounted on a wall? Your poem states the fact, obviously readers have their own opinions. Great rhythm and rhyme which made it flow well, How graceful mountain goats are, they skim over rocks and hills, how awful to end up stuffed and mounted on a wall. Although seeing it on the wall encouraged you to write a poem and now the goat lives on in your poem. I wanted to cry when I read this, great write. MaggieF
