Raymond A. Foss Poems

Back to Poems Page

The canter of the deer
out in the bare wood
reminding me of the pictures
on the TV

The bright clearing
as like the fairgrounds
as if in dressage
prancing on the ground

The head and tail
fully erect
waiting for a rider
to climb on its back

Thin from the winter
the struggle for food
yet elegant in performance
striding in the world


March 16, 2011
Seeing a young deer
in the partially cleared woods
southbound on Rte 3 and Rte 106,
Pembroke, NH
