Fallow deer at rest
replete with summers bounty
proud of your palmate antlers
and your silky dappled skin
fit prize for a big eyed doe

I love it, both tanka and photo. It SOUNDS right, which tankas to my mind often don’t.
Very wonderful photo. Lovely poem!!
So lovely and relaxing, your poetry a perfect match.
Very good poem to start my Thursday. Makes me lazy though… do I really have to go to work today? Oh Well… another pot of coffee should do it..
Can you see my smile, Gilly? Rest, replete, proud, prize and doe. What a story. ❤ ❤ ❤ The picture is perfect for your Tanka as well.
Simply awesome, Gilly. This one, I shan’t even try to write one today. 🙂
Oh, I love, love, love this. I’d have to call it “Romance Among the Deer.”
Beautiful animal, beautiful poem.
Stunning photo and poem, Gilly. Love your header too. 🙂
I had to look up ‘palmate’ Gilly. How DID you get such a fabulous shot? Fit prize indeed! 🙂
Thanks Jo, it was in the New Forest and it would be difficult not to get a reasonable shot there!
No, it’s really beautiful Gilly 🙂
Your Haiku captures the magic of that image Gilly!
