I'm going to have to order it soon--I keep across beautiful examples of his powerful poems. <br /><br />This one kind of broke my heart. I hate seeing dead deer and other animals at the side of the road, and I felt I was really there in that moment with him.<br /><br />Thanks for sharing, Linda--and hugs...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6243430375503775910.post-87732965579543218082010-06-04T17:36:08.000-07:002010-06-04T17:36:08.000-07:00Kelly, I agree it's hard to see a deer on the ...Kelly, I agree it's hard to see a deer on the side of the road. We have a herd of them living in the woods behind my house, and I feel very connected to them.<br /><br />Toby and Laura, I love many of William Stafford's poems. This one and "Fifteen" are two of my favorites.<br /><br />Laura, I have a copy of Writing the Australian Crawl, but I haven't read it for years. Thanks for reminding me to take it off the shelf and read it again.Lindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01786457482835741494noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6243430375503775910.post-2145936787413074342010-06-04T12:53:27.106-07:002010-06-04T12:53:27.106-07:00Linda, I'm a William Stafford fan.

The deer dashes in front of cars so quickly and many times both the car and damaged are severely damaged.<br />Thanks for sharing the poem!Kelly Polarkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10968381456100611120noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6243430375503775910.post-50076488146318074992010-06-03T17:43:58.848-07:002010-06-03T17:43:58.848-07:00Thanks, Joyce.
