i saw the deer, the deer saw me
we bonded telepathically
she sent me vibes that she would wait
and then ran out in front of me
so if your psyche seems entwined
with roadside deer, i think you’ll find
that as a human being like me
you cannot know the cervine mind

Wow! I love this!! It reminds me of two incidents of deer- human telepathy where I either hesitated to drive or slowed down- once before a deer jumped out in the dark when I was about to drive to work here and once when I was driving through New England slowing down on the highway for no apparent reason when a deer crossed our path suddenly. Both times, the deer and I avoided damage. π³πβ¨

Glad to hear that!! I wanted this in two stanzas but no matter how many spaces I put between them, they always come out as one on the blog… Frustrating!

Yes, I think we need to educate our computers and sites for the benefits of freedoms in space, spacing, capitalization or not, punctuation and grammar of our Poetry. This reminds me of my poem Sheba To R2D2. You can quickly guess what itβs about. π

What a gorgeous photo! I’ve had these moments with deer too, where you think you might understand them, and then they jump off the opposite direction.
