    Poem Commentary

    Silent creatures wander in the night....

    Wandering in the Night

     A step in the darkened field she took
    Glancing my way as I went by
    Grazing dangerously close to death
    She was graceful yet terribly shy

    Hidden she thought by the night
    Chancing the obstacles near
    Nourishment needed to sustain her
    For no one is feeding the deer

    Eyes shine in the glare of the lights
    Statuesque she dare not move
    If she stays very still in the darkness
    Her safety surely will prove

    Swiftly she runs deep in the woods
    Joining the family there
    In the comfort of the herd
    Protection is theirs to share



    Swan

    I love this Purple swan! I adore the ending of this write. So true of the beautiful Deer. The most popular to see at times in the distance only to see it run quickly away. No wonder it is scared of man, just look at us? How barbaric we can be! I loved it!TEN for sure!

    Way to go, Swan.........you saved a deer's life........that has to be truly frightening for a deer to look into the glare of headlights on a dark deserted wood's edge..........Love, it................................g

    Poetry is not a turning loose of emotion, but an escape from emotion.

    T. S. Eliot (1888-1965) American-English poet and playwright.
