Deer in Forster Country

Written by Don Courtman
Friday, 04 April 2008
A poem inspired by The Birthday Walk When you turn Your head backwards Alongside your body And silhouette Your long ears upwards Against the sky To look at me With wide-eyed innocence And grace, Your classic stance, I can but implore you Not to panic Not to flee But to stay there, still A moment longer, Watching me.

When you turn
Your head backwards
Alongside your body
And silhouette
Your long ears upwards
Against the sky
To look at me
With wide-eyed innocence
And grace,
Your classic stance,
I can but implore you
Not to panic
Not to flee
But to stay there, still
A moment longer,
Watching me.
