Hi Kay, I just discovered your blog...I'm a bit slow on the uptake!
Brian recently messaged me to say he'd discovered a poem I'd forgotten I'd had published on Lyrical Passion Poetry, in those days before I fell head over heels in love with tanka and haiku. Your beautiful, tender poem, so delicate, so present, there, not there, captures perfectly these creatures that are so 'deer' to my heart, too. Here's the link to mine:http://lyricalpassionpoetry.yolasite.com/poetry-corner-of-rhyme.php and here's my tanka from the same journal:
stepping out to drink across sun-silvered distance the deer of a poem asks to be written
I don't know about you, I could spend a lifetime trying(and failing) to say all that might be said about these fellow travellers on the path.
Claire, So very honored that you would step into my chaotic world of writing! I'm sorry that I did not see your note until now; it is with great joy that I read your comments and lovely poem.
Lovely. The hidden, magical lives of deer expressed quietly and simply.
ReplyDeleteThank you, deer friend. :}

Talk about "slow on the uptake!"
Salutations to a new deer friend,
