Thank you, Pearl. I appreciate it so much.
Comment from Joan E.
I am glad you were inspired by the Club to create your poem in the unusual Duo-Rhyme form. I enjoyed your eye-catching picture selection and your two rhymes and rhythm. Sad but undoubtedly true--sighs- Joan

Thank you for this great review. I couldn't resist that little deer's picture.
Comment from Patty Palmer
That's the Yearling! It reminded me in a way like Old Yellar too; This was sad! However, I like how your poem is written! That poor little deer in the picture is so adorable!

Thank you. I couldn't resist that face. I don't really know where the poem came from. I started out on a completely different though. 8-)

Of course, Grand Ole Flag would make a great name for a venison jerky company.... ;/ Can you tell it's really early in the morning? LOL! A great rhythm and such smooth delivery it's easy to hear the banjo accompaniment! ;) Thanx for sharing! ;) Yvette

Awe, nooo! That cannot be so. Yvonne, I simply don't have the stomach for this. I know what you're saying and I understand with my brain, but my heart breaks just thinking about it. Your poem is very well written, but I hate it, if you know what I mean. I'm such a softy. Ulla xx

Comment from Minglement
A poignant write on the theme of this classic movie, the ending of which always breaks my heart. But you kept to the original story-line and brought the sad story line home again. Well done.

Oh, Damommy!!! Say it isn't so!!! It's such a 'Bambi' moment! Your Duo Rhyme for the Potlatch Club is really good. I love this picture, by the way. Please... tell me that this little thing isn't the actual and real subject of this poem...

It's fictional. I movie back in the 1940s. Thanks for reviewing.
Comment from judiverse
Such a sad movie. I'm a great admirer of Gregory Peck. I always hoped there was a way they could have saved the deer. (They surely could have come up with something.) Your monorhyme is well done. This flows smoothly, and you create the same feelings I had when watching the movie. I don't remember why Dad didn't shoot the deer himself. judi

The father had hurt himself. I don't remember how. The mother had taken it on herself to shoot Flag, but only wounded him. Jody had to finish the job. Thanks for reviewing.

Thanks for reminding me of that. I wish the story could be rewritten with a happy ending. judi
Comment from Barbaraj1
This is a sad poem. Reminds me of the movie Old Yeller. The son had to shoot the dog. In your poem, the son has to kill the deer. A well-told story. Barb

Comment from Gail Denham
Oh sad ending to this poem - to the boy's pet. But I can understand - we have multitudes of deer who come around at least once a day to eat all the bird food - we try to get it out early so the birds can have a nibble.
Nice poem for this "duo-rhyme"
