Deer

Deer

I am a deer.

Solitary, curious and vulnerable.

Left alone at a young age,

Like Bambi.

A dim view, fear is a beast within us.

I wander the woods.

A calm stare, but alert for any signs of danger.

It is the season of change.

The world is listening.

When the bullet sounds,

Keep your eyes peeled on the road to peace.

I have a heart of stone

And know that gray skies are gonna clear up!

Author's Note

A metaphor poem where we had to pick an animal that we were most like and write about it.

Vulnerable...constant watchfulness...ears twitching at each sound....
I think if you were young and alone in the woods...you would be just like the deer.
Good job in your description..
Enjoyed it.
