Na Po Wri Mo – April 14 2023

I am going off prompt again as writing a parody or satire based on a famous poem is not for me.

So my poem for today came from a memory instead.

The Doe

If I had not stopped to watch 

the deer

I would not have seen her fawn.

With silver tears in its eyes,

it looked at me hypnotised.

Gently, I blew a kiss to land

like a feather upon 

its sweet head.

And if I had not turned 

my gaze back to the doe

I would not have witnessed 

a trust so pure it made 

me cry.
