Fawn

These are my favorite animal poems.
They describe delicate shy fawns.

In the Forest

          The little fawn
          So slim and light
          Finds lacy vines
          His bed for night.

Innocence

          The newborn foal
          With knock-kneed pose
          Above the irises
          Pokes out his nose.
