Analysis of Stag supremely engaged…

Douglas Blair 1951 (London)



I at the one end

He at the other

Trees all around us

Rude noises smothered.

Windbreak for certain

And neither one moving

Feeling a kinship rare

Family here proving

Hiatus from duty

He regal in this aisle

Eight pointed Beauty.

Checking me out as well.
