A Beautiful Disaster

As cars drive by-
lights so bright -
The fawn can collide-

She looks-
blinded by the light-
and no time to react-

The blue car-
with beaming headlights hits-

The cool autumn breeze blows by -
Leaves are rustling and cars -
continue-
to pass-

The deer stares-
God watches-
the fawn suffers-
She hears other animals-

Such a beautiful peaceful forest-
yet so violent.

Blood is streaming -
out like water-
and the mother is nowhere near.

Frightened -
and worried-
the deer tries to move-
with a leg broken -
she is like a rock in the lake-
She is disoriented and hopes she can survive.
The deer attempts, but cannot push through.

The deer is dead-
finally in -
her eternal bed-


The author's comments:
As I walked outside, i wanted to find something that inspired me to write about. I heard birds chirping and saw trees swaying, but that's just what every one sees. No one really focuses on the ugly part of nature. While everyone sees nature as being green and beautiful, I wanted to juxtapose beauty and death. I created this poem, not portraying the life of a fawn, but portraying darkness in nature.
