Around our house stands our D fence.
I mean that now, in present tense,
it’s fencing that can be seen out back,
but out front, quite bluntly, fence we lack.

D fences are required per rules
regarding backyard swimming pools,
lest kids returning home from schools
fall in when acting out like fools.

Of itself, the fence is standing
still. Beyond, were tails demanding
view, two deer. My ears assailed
both doe and fawn along the trail.
To ears, 'two deer' may sound too endearing.
So I walked softly, hardly hearing
still. Beyond, were tails demanding
view, two deer. My ears assailed
both doe and fawn along the trail.
To ears, 'two deer' may sound too endearing.
So I walked softly, hardly hearing
deer tails swish from left to right.
True tale, two tails were in my sight.
Mourning all the times our meeting
passed us by, we fly. Our fleeting
thoughts we ought not waste on hasty
talk. We gawk, as if a tasty
morsel forced upon our senses
caused us pause at backyard fences
near our fears of new encroachment.
Change and Hope is what my vote meant.
Now, I think the time has come for
fencing words upon our front door.
Swords are drawn upon these lines
for reasons cut from sharpened minds.
