These poems, like elk, have some muscle and mystery to them. The trio is brought to us by Dave Mehler:

"Elk in the Field" by Michael McGriff

"Bull Elk in October River" by Chris Dombrowski

"Pat Describes an Elk Bugling" by Dave Mehler

Dave's poem that he reads was published (along with two others he wrote) in  The Red Wheelbarrow Anthology #15
