Bye-Bye Jimmy.....[nature Observations; Death; Personal] Comments
Two days ago out our window in the morning
a unique event appeared to me without warning.
Among the trees, of our neighbor's southern slope,
I spied a large deer which I felt had little hope

Thank you Bri for this beautiful tribute to Jimmy. Loved the poem. I am giving full 5 stars + to my fravourite
Such a touching tale. I felt so emotional. So sweet of your wife to name him Jimmy. Animals need the compassion of humans. They cannot talk or complain about their pain. They just quietly bear it up.
Did the turkey vultures ever show up? I hope so. They need to eat, too. Great poem, Bri!
I thought I had commented on this before, Bri. It is very well done. This may in fact be the best poem of yours that I have seen so far. Five stars!
Wow! 2012! Is jimmy still there? Actually it is an excellent poem. Great work.
BITS AND PIECES, perhaps, but they've probably been consumed by Nature, e.g. mice.
Since 2012, this poem has received 5 comments; I hope more have read it. It is one of my favorites and it IS all true. Thanks to all who left comments! ! ! ! : ) : ) bri
"Two days have passed and Jimmy lies there cold, no longer roaming hillsides, no longer bold."
Giving him a name was nice of your wife as he held on to the last of his life. It is always sad to see an animal die. The description of the event was well described. I felt like I was witnessing it too.
A poignant and vivid depiction of a dying animal. Liked how the second paragraph was crafted. I shared with the thought of your wife. Sometimes there are some people who could make a connection with animals and feel their pain. So thoughtful to write a poem and named him Jimmy. A wonderful poem beautifully written with nice rhyme.
The death of an animal can at times bring a tear and make our spirits sink! If it is a pet, the grief will be inconsolable at least for some time! The body of Jimmy, I hope won't be abused by vultures! (But, then you and your family will have to take to heels once the carcass begins to rot! !) A poem of a different vein... rather serious and not funny! I invite you to read my poem... A Tribute to my Dog(if time permits)
I like it Bri, and the rhyming structure you've used too. Poor Jimmy indeed.
