The Deer in the Woods

This item requires reviews with ratings.
The handsome, wild creatures
Of delicate, leisurely importance and status,
The long-legged, well-built deer,
Graze beautifully and alertly
In the open wilderness,
The quietly remote and barren woods
Which become fazed and partially encroached upon
By humanity’s homes and technology.
The hungry, mortal deer, with their
Acute senses of sight and smell,
Are prepared to scamper and bolt
At a moment’s prescribed and deathly notice.
The healthy, vibrant woods provide
Adequate food and nourishment
For the easily frightened deer,
Whose survival and growth depend
Upon grazing in the open patches of wilderness,
And eluding the gun-toting hunters and predators
Who threaten to decimate their
Innocent, defensible, and pre-ordained existence.
