Sense Sonnet - Acher

 Taking No Chance

While working in the woods I be

Coming upon a doe with faun.

And I watch them while they watch me,

A connecting phenomenon.

The story, Bambi, comes to mind,

And how all deer have to beware

Presence of any humankind,

With danger ever lurking there.

I watch in the eyes of the doe.

Do I pose a threat to her faun?

She does not take a chance to know,

And in a flash they both are gone.

I walk on, knowing time will tell

Whether doe and faun will fare well.
