Darlene De Beaulieu Poet Free verse

Archery

Two friends go camping
In the wilderness
They bring a target board
With bows and arrows

The target is up
They all get ready
One at a time wait
For each of their turns

For a perfect aim
One friend aimed- then let go
The arrow did not go far
Only a short distence

The other friend tried 
The best he could
Only he got bruised
When the arrow flew

He ended up with a bruse
That took awhile to heal
It did not matter to him
He enjoyed the sport

Alfred Berggren October 23, 2017 at 6:04 PM Gotta be careful of that bow string. It'll get you every time. Darlene De Beaulieu October 23, 2017 at 8:39 PM I think the bow string is very strong. It can give a person a bruise. have a nice evening my friend.
