    Poem Commentary

    I am no literary guru, but I tried to work this challenge out. Hope I made it. If anyone sees where I failed in any of these requirements, please point that out to me. Thank you.

     Rustling leaves...
    A doe lifts head
    Subsist by danger
    Warned by breeze
    Deer snort and run
