A Mother And Her Baby Fawn

by Lu   Oct 21, 2005


As the sun beams down it's warmly rays
kissing the surface of a wandering stream
I stand mesmerized to the sight before my eyes
as a mother and her baby fawn drink
at the refreshing edge of a swirling stream

Unaware of my presence ,oblivious to danger
I steadily hold my hands aiming
waiting for the perfect shot
the clicking noise draws their attention
wide-eyed and startled at first
then they carry on to the task at hand
for they realize I am no threat

For the shot I have taken is of pure beauty
never a bullet of mine will tear their flesh
childhood memories of Bambi
tears that still sting my heart
the only trophy proudly displayed upon my wall
beauty captured by a camera
a precious picture of a mother and her baby fawn

    Luanne,

    This is such a good thoughtful right and I for one agree 100% with the message in the write. I am against hunting and agree that the only shots that should be take should be with a camera.

    Warmest regards,

    Steve

    Oh I like this! I honestly thought it was gonna be a gruesome hunting poem. It's funny cause I also think back to Bambi when it comes to deer hunting.
    Well done on the twist, awesome stuff! You're an amazing writer, keep it up~Holly
