Our walk takes us up to Larroque and beyond the lac 

we pick up Pom Pom near his home and halfway up our track

from nowhere a big roe buck bounds 

across the stubble and now barren ground

he zig-zagged the field, then headed straight for us, across the road

i guess he has no particular abode

to the deer, the dog and us, it was a nasty fright 

but their leaps and aerobatic bounds were still a beautiful sight
