having sprung forth in relative dark
the yearling becomes entangled
with obstacles to the light--
seeking shadows as if they were doors,
misshapen and scrape-scarred limbs
continue to rake all manner of rock and thorn
only to trace negatives of the sun.
seeking shadows as if they were doors..
Wonderful line Rachel.
Thanks for sharing..

Hey, everyone. I sometimes get the idea that bringing such images to life through writing has the ability to do some small amount of harm, if to no one else but the writer. I had a dream of the yearling only last night, but she was a small and vicious creature and nothing like I envisioned when I wrote this.
Thanks to all for reading.

Fantastic work Rachel - written with true feeling and cuts deep . Sometimes a poem can bring images to life, and this is one such for me.

wonderful as usual but the image of the yearling is truly something special
So beautifully put Rachel with so few words. This is one of these poems I wish I had written.
'Seeking shadows as if they were doors'
wonderful
