The Little Fawn by Charles J Hannan Mother and I went shopping for a pet Since we already had a dog The choice was a cat So we set out to the animal shelter Somewhere in Jackson, Mississippi Where we lived for a year (which is another story alltogether) When we got there Mom let me pick him out As I looked among the felines Out from the back room Came a brown and white streak A little fawn rescued From the side of a busy highway (his mother had gotten hit by a car) And under my legs this baby deer ran Standing beneath me, shaking He must have sensed my innocence Because I definately felt his I couldn't believe my eyes This little fawn And I Connecting for a moment Until the personnel rounded him up Carrying him back..... We got the grey tabby The one I picked out But all I wanted Was that little fawn 04/20/2003 Posted on 04/20/2003 Copyright © 2025 Charles J Hannan Member Comments on this Poem Posted by Chris Sorrenti on 04/20/03 at 11:13 PM Moving story poem...made my heart rise up to my throat.
