Rutting Buck

Rutting Buck

 

A rutting buck can mean danger

When he’s about your place

He challenges all in anger

And chases them away

 

He runs with his doe

Up and down the woods

The others watch them go

With the match there understood

 

The times that they rest

Are few and far between

It’s his stamina that she tests

And her tactics keep him lean

 

The romance is usually over

After several days

In a month they’ll do it over

If again she turns his way

 

The squirrels all celebrate

When the ruckus is finally through

They chase each other round and round

And do some mating too

    Never get near a stag in the rutting season, they don't care who they but. Good write.

          I think the majority of people have a deep fondness for animals. What scares me is the potential hunter who might read this and have a completely different outlook on your poem. But then, I can't picture a hunter actually being on this site, a site for poets. I have a couple of animal related writes that I'd like to post in following up on this post of yours. I feel that more people in the world need to be aware of animal rights and concerns. And like I said in my previous note, I love this write. ; )
