I took him to the greatest vantage point
driving through the mountains
the evergreens iced over
a buck in the road

His eyes washed of the cool mist
as whispered words hit windshield
“I wonder what it would be like…
to be loved like that.”

My soul’s window crashed open
all detours leading here
a stormy, slippery passage
with bitter chill abounding

Dare he travel it?

Continuing, cordially, on the bluff
clarity defrosted all viewpoints
there were routes to venture up and down
or the spinning of wheels round and round

We went round and round

Holding our breaths to thwart fog
in the calm after the storm
I waited for a chance to leap
and he, for the buck in the road

I have to say that I found your previous work walking an ordinary trail many times. Here I see reflection, intrigue and strong emotional creativity. A poem to be reckoned with. Good work in all areas.

As usual, unusual

with levels of complexity

breathtaking when seen,

while for others, unseen...

wood ghosts

first off I aplogize for those that left a pile of worded manure on your comment section but the poem is so full of beauty and frageranted that it shines above anyones mere opinion. It is a wonderfully written piece of literary art, an expression of thoughts in words that is so ...poetic <grin>

No bucks in the road?

You obviously haven't lived in an area populated by deer.

while I tend to agree with Anonymous in Wherever about dear in the road and 30.06's

I don't cotton much to zero leavers with out names, shows a lack of guts

A damn 5 just for spite

Mountains Are For Hunting

A 30-06 would have gotten that darned buck out of the road in a heartbeat. It would have been a boon for the species too. Foolishly standing in the middle of the road when a car is bearing down on the animal is definitely not a survival trait the buck should pass on to any progeny. And a good shot would provide many fine meals for the travelers too.

Seriously, too much fluff, too little substance. Keep trying.
