I know what it's like
to balance on the edge of disaster
with one leg to carry the weight
and three dogs snapping at your feet
It’s hard to keep from falling
when everything strikes at lightning speed
and you can’t think past the thunder
But that three-legged deer
stood in the middle of the road
daring me to hit her
and I had to break hard on a downhill slide
just to avoid the splatter
Maybe she was tired
of straddling a three-prong stool
prone to tipping
Cause she had such a look of defiance
at the screech of my intrusion
and I saw the grace in her stride
when she finally turned
and jumped the fence like a ballerina

Adding your comment:
Unlike Junebug, I don't think Zayra should ever be fired. 
A vividly descriptive piece, Madame Liberryan. I'm glad she was ok...Hope you didn't shake & shiver too much upon your encounter with this beautiful beast, Sweetie. Good luck in the contest, my fearless Friend.
