recovering

 

zoey snuggled deeper in 

to the warmth 

of samuel's cradling arms

 

sighed and counted blessings

the little ones

were asleep   the moon was showing

 

through high wispy clouds

in the distance

a doe warned off a pestering coyote 

 

with a series of resonate coughs

she has a little one

herself   zoey thought   and settled in

 

to sleep and dream of such things

as full bellies and blue sky

Lovely and quiet. Nicely done. I like especially the detail of the doe coughing. I’ve never heard that sound, but given the limited range of doe sound possibilities, it makes sense to me as something loud enough and harsh enough to warn you to stay away. Thank you.

Very nice, I think. The writing is excellent and I like the poem's gentle spirit. It feels a bit like a lullaby, which is very good in my book.
