Finds a Piece of Flint

finds a piece of flint
sits chipping away at it 
such concentration
proudly holds his arrow head
dreams of being a hunter

(a stone age boy)

hey there jack, np periods or punctuation, tanka & haiku come off same branch so no title, no capitalization. It is a mood poem and you set a fine mood! [use line 1 in the title spot ---finds a piece of flint] Light & Love
