buckee Posted March 10, 2005 Report Share Posted March 10, 2005 I was cleaning out the back room (again..LOL) and ran across this poem that I wrote quite a few years ago, for one of our wildlife dinners. I just thought I would share it with you guys and gals. I'm no poet, but I try sometimes [ QUOTE ] AUGUST There's a wonderful place, where few tend to go, Where the shadows are still, and the cedars hang low. The brook babbles lightly, as not to disturb, and songs can be heard of each different bird. The air smells so sweet, with the scent of the flowers, Under sweeping grey clouds, that are whispering ... "showers". . . . Then, out of the still, comes a terrible cry, An eagle, just soaring, way up in the sky. Looking intently with keenly set eyes, It circles, and circles, and straight down it dives. In seconds it rises above the tall trees, Clutching something beneath him, and then he just leaves. . . . Off on my right, I hear a slight noise, A snap, then a crack, so I stand, still and poised. It stops, it starts, then it's silent again, So I stand there and wait, as it sprinkles with rain. It must be a squirrel, playing under that tree, Yeah, I'll bet that's what it was that startled me. . . . Then out of the brush, straight ahead this time, walks a beautiful buck, with one long drop-tine. He looks up my way and stops dead in his tracks, Lifts his head in the air, licks his lips with a smack, Utters one low,loud snort and wrinkles his nose, Then he's off like a shot, so much for the pose. . . . I haven't my bow at my side at this time, It's the beginning of August, and I'm just checking sign. In a few short weeks, I'll be back for the harvest, I hope he's still here, because he seems like the largest. I've seen a few bucks up till now you see, But nothing compared to the one by that tree. . . . At home in my garden there's peppers and beets, Onions, tomatoes, potatoes and leeks. There's plums and there's apples and grapes on the vine, And many sweet berries for making some wine. I've got squash and carrots and herbs for medicine, Now the only thing missing, is that wonderful venison.
