Darlene De Beaulieu Poet Free verse

The Dart Board

Darts boards on the wall
There are twelve together
The twelve teams are formed
To make friendship with fun

Everyone throws a dart
For the highest  number
Then second,third,fourth
Now the game begins

Some darts thrown hit the floor 
The others miss the board
Its not easy as it looks
Some darts hit the walls

The others aim for the middle 
It does not happen to often
A lot of darts thrown miss
Never hit the dart board

Gershon Wolf October 8, 2019 at 1:39 PM Is there a secret? Whose picture is in the middle of the dart board, I wonder? I'd like to throw at Putin's face, Xi's, or Kim's, but I fear that many of my fellow Americans would rather throw at Trump, Obama, Bush, or Clinton. (Phooey.... Funny, but I went to college at DARTmouth College in New Hampshire!.. Thanks, Darlene. ~ Gershon Darlene De Beaulieu October 8, 2019 at 5:25 PM Hello Gershon Wolf, I would throw a dart at Trump. I can not stand him. Also I do not like Trudeau I don't like him he is too young to be Prime Minister of Canada.He made a big mess. Have a nice evening my friend.

Robert L. Hinshaw September 29, 2019 at 5:09 PM A wonderful depiction of the hazards of the game of darts, Darlene! Many thanks for your kind comments re Abandoned School House and best to you - Bob Darlene De Beaulieu September 29, 2019 at 5:56 PM Hello Robert L. Hinshaw, I was not a good dart player. I would miss the big board. I have never seen an abandoned school house. It should be a museum piece somewhere. Have a nice evening my friend.

M. L. Kiser September 27, 2019 at 8:07 PM So, that means there's a lot of dull darts at your house? Seriously, great imagery and metaphor in this. I wish more "darts" would miss as people sometimes say what they really don't mean, in anger. Well done. Darlene De Beaulieu September 28, 2019 at 7:21 AM Hello M.L. Kiser, yes dull darts and no matter how big the dart board .....it is missed. Have a nice day my friend.

Caren Krutsinger September 27, 2019 at 7:14 AM I have to say I am no good at it but they sure do hit the floor! Most do not want to admit it. Darlene De Beaulieu September 27, 2019 at 9:06 AM Hello Caren, I went around the dart board,hit the corner of the board and the floor. I was awful. yet i had fun. have a nice day my friend. thank you for the lovely comment.

Jack Horne September 24, 2019 at 11:46 AM love this well observed piece - love this game but most of my darts hit the wall & fall to the floor, lol Darlene De Beaulieu September 24, 2019 at 1:02 PM Hello Jack Horn, oh, I did the same thing.I seldom hit the board. Yet I did have fun. Have a nice day my friend.

Heidi Sands September 23, 2019 at 9:27 PM I haven't played darts in a long while, I suppose, I would be missing the board Darlene. Have a nice evening :)
