So two in one year. Both have stories attached to them, at least for me, that definitely made me think of mortality, and God. I would have raised my hand if I had been in your class. I didn't go home and write a poem though...but I think I still could, because it affected me that deeply. This poem is so beautiful. It still makes me tear up to think about both of those deer. Where I live now there are many deer that I see just walking through the fields. I feel like they have given me more time to look at them, or perhaps I have just slowed down.Miriamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01335465248417587444noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31402520.post-46639406995000265192009-05-12T19:20:00.000-04:002009-05-12T19:20:00.000-04:00Such a sad post.

There is little road kill in our little community (25 mph winding private roads) but I do see more than I would like on the highway when I leave the community.NCmountainwomanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00615765649828716560noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31402520.post-38393927437284071082009-05-12T17:43:00.000-04:002009-05-12T17:43:00.000-04:00Road Kill is no fun.

We often cross the border into Michigan at Port Huron and drive to Flint. The carnage (big animals) is unbelievable on the highway. We noticed it too on the way to NYC last year. We have fences along our big highways. Two friends of mine have been killed in deer-car accidents. I always worry about my daughter driving the 100km to her home in the evening.Ruthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15892804871759397018noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31402520.post-6579636047403421362009-05-11T18:21:00.000-04:002009-05-11T18:21:00.000-04:00Have you read "Watership Down"?
