From ragged verdant verge
Eruptes a freckled fawn
Frightened into flight
Not long after dawn
By the sudden sight
On the lower lawn
Of, clad in crimson bright,
clumsy human spawn,
Who, in turn, was shocked
By the sudden charge
Of that tiny fawn
That seemed so very large.
Peace replaced by peril in a single instant,
A unity of terror in the minds of infants.
This is a delightful image. It reminds me of a children’s book I used to read to my kids, Blueberries for Sal about a little girl who meets a bear cub.https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00CDUVQVW/ref=dp-kindle-redirect?_encoding=UTF8&btkr=1#nav-subnav
