THE WIND, THE DEER & THE BADGER...

 The Wind, The Deer & The Badger



A stiff breeze shifted

Spindly limbs on trees and forced

Leaves to dodge in a display of agitation.


A sole badger, interested but peeping

From its sett began a cautious creeping,

Sniffing for food as dusk drifted

Its gloom onto the terrain…


Turning, I shifted 

My limbs between trees and forced

A glance to the rear in anticipation.


A silent roebuck, two metres behind

Stood regal and rather refined;

Slipping through wire, it drifted

Stealthily into the lane…

Rather odd when a badger feeds in front of me, whilst a deer lurks behind, likely wondering why I was a fake tree…
