The Poem:<\/h1>\n

 <\/p>\n

Der Hirsch<\/em><\/h4>\n

 <\/p>\n

Aubergine fields reflect the red blood moon<\/p>\n

throughout a bracing October night<\/p>\n

transformed Yellow Crownbeard\u2019s lemon-flowers<\/p>\n

turned to thorny dark violet-brown seed pods<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

throughout a bracing October night<\/p>\n

\u201cI sense slight movements near the willow tree\u201d<\/p>\n

turned to thorny dark violet-brown seed pods<\/p>\n

\u201ctonight we watch the sky for celestial clues\u201d<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u201cI sense slight movements near the willow tree\u201d<\/p>\n

listen \u00a0to swift waters surging downstream<\/p>\n

\u201ctonight we watch the sky for celestial clues\u201d<\/p>\n

der \u00a0Hirsch strides silently on damp fall leaves<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

listen \u00a0to swift waters surging downstream<\/p>\n

\u201ctonight \u00a0we watch the sky for celestial clues\u201d<\/p>\n

der Hirsch strides \u00a0silently on damp leaves<\/p>\n

\u201cI long to follow you \u2013 come away my beloved\u201d<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u201ctonight we watch the sky for \u00a0celestial clues\u201d<\/p>\n

transformed, Yellow Crownbeard\u2019s\u00a0 lemon-flowers<\/p>\n

\u201cI long to follow you – \u00a0come away my beloved\u201d<\/p>\n

\u00a0The Backstory & Note<\/strong><\/em><\/h2>\n

Der Hirsch (German word for \u201cThe Deer\u201d)<\/p>\n

Aubergine (French word for \u201cEggplant\u201d)<\/p>\n

Der Hrisch<\/em> is a Pantoum poem.<\/p>\n

I wrote this poem when I was taking a course in writing poetry. The assignment was to write a poem and use your favorite words for inspiration.<\/p>\n

My 2 favorite words are “Hirsh” and “Aubergine.”<\/p>\n

I wrote this poem in my favorite poetry form – the Pantoum. Listen for the repeating lines as you read the poem. This gives a poem movement and you will feel like you are there in the landscape, watching and listening for Der Hirsch!\u00a0 Be patient. He will arrive.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
