Ciao poet, you now have 4 votes!

An unusual offering for this time of season even though the weather has been still very cold. Just a few days ago we still got considerable snowfall on our mounts.

We don't have elks .. I googled to see what were the differences between elks and red stags.

I didn't know that the sound they make is called : bugle.

Good thing I checked the pronunciation .. I was saying bug-le instead of
bu-gle.

You found a pretty piece of art to illustrate your wee poem.

Best of luck in the contest!

Thanks for your vote. The current leader is worthy of its placement.

Check out "wapiti" for another animal that may bugle (-;

Regina,

I have seen the elk, but never heard their winter bugling.

Pleased you liked this winter scene.
