We don't read and write poetry because it's cute. We read and write poetry because we are members of the human race. And the human race is filled with passion. And medicine, law, business, engineering, these are noble pursuits and necessary to sustain life. But poetry, beauty, romance, love, these are what we stay alive for." ~ Professor Keating (Robin Williams) in "Dead Poet's Society"

The Deer on My Lawn
The Deer on My Lawn
An orphan fawn Meanders tearfully at night An orphan fawn Half -dead rests on my front lawn Eyes glowing in manger light The plastic Jesus a welcome sight To an orphan fawn, this christmas night
