I watched a family of four deer

wander through the woods
behind my parents’ house today.
What a gorgeous sight.
This sweet fawn and I
locked eyes,
studying each other closely.

Confident and graceful,
she’d nibble on a branch
or look around for her parents,
then turn her attention again to me.
When I left the house and got in my car,
there she was,
still watching me quietly
from her spot in the woods.
So, who was the true spectator…
me or her?

P.S.

I couldn’t resist capturing the sight

of a fresh layer of snow

on the brand new display

of lawn mowers at Home Depot.
