Fawn

Amidst afternoon rest

and attempts of keeping cool,

the Chickens clucked,

aware of an intruder.

Resting and attempting

to keep cool in the house,

the Humans raised watchful eyes.

From her Window,

Melanie noted a Fawn in the garden,

outside the fence.

Naps were interrupted,

as the Humans headed

quietly to the East Deck.

The Fawn danced away,

with tail and head barely visible

above Meadow Grasses and Flowers

on the way to the Woods.

The Humans smiled

at what could have been a dream.

Then they went back to their naps.

Chickens returned to rest too.
