Best Archer Poems


Premium Member The Archer
What timid lamb discerns I am trustworthy, drawing near? 
What deer could hear my message clear, "There's no need for alarm"? 
What rabbit out of habit doesn't dash in mortal fear?
What sigh could signify to butterfly, "My heart is warm"?
What squirrel won't twirl and run...

The Archer
The archer stood very still by the oceans edge
His target was a buoy, tossed far from his ledge

Aiming high against the sky he let his arrow go
Elements unforgiving bounced the buoy to and fro 

The archer through experience had adjusted aim
In account the wind and...

Premium Member Angela the Archer
Angela the archer was a romantic, who shot cupid arrows.
Her family thought she was out hunting quail or duck.
She was matching up love matches in the land of Farrows.
The couples would stay together if she had the most luck.

Angela was given opportunity by Aphrodite, the...

SONNET IN THE WIND
(The Archer)


Hark! What wind doth blow in yonder forest
Stirring the spirit of a long dead archer
In his endless search for the unwary doe
He stealthily lifts his bow – aiming hurriedly
His shot misses – his prey flees – frightened 
Alas! He trudges onward...

The Archer From Locksley
Wasn't Robin Hood born with noble blood,
what made him betray royalty?
He had a grudge against Prince John!
As a bodyguard, he was loyal 
to King Richard, but despised
the greedy and unfair Sheriff.

According to English folklore:
he was an outlaw, a skilled archer,
he became a legend in his...

Man is a bow
With its two extremities:
His double nature,
And one cord:
His understanding,

On the one extremity
Enthroned we find,
Good, love and hope,
On the other,
Evil, hate, and fear,
But he is the same bow,
The same man,

When the extremities
For superiority strive,
And his soul a battlefield
Of emotions becomes,
The bow: the man,
Full...

I Am An Archer
If you were an Archer,
And had but one choise out of two.
With a string of fresh arrows, and a heart of gold.
What would you do?

If you had to chose between what was right, and your own survival,
What would you do?
If you could either save many...

My Little Archer
My Little Archer


I am not cupid with wings to snare
I stood to trust with my dominant eye
My arrow’s end reaped a feather from lair
Grasped the bowstring, appeared ready to vie

Released my strength and listened to my breath
As force was pulling it down to the ground
That...

Archer
Tension on fingers, drawn to face,
Eyes ahead, judging time and space.

A life in the balance, measured and weighed,
A breath no longer, will be taken this day.

Smooth release, as fingers relax,
Shaft accelerates, flash in time, looking back.

Heart of antiquity, a soul of eternal light,
Air through feathers,...

The Archer In Me
Making a difference in this world
is our life pursuit. 
Free spirited, sign of fire
I follow a unique route. 

Independent at the core
yet partnership is key.
Loyal friend I heal your soul
Never will I flee.

Forever searching philosopher
Humanitarian for all. 
Writer, entertainer
Could talk to a brick wall. 

Humor...

Premium Member Archer of the Forest
Deep in the forest
Outlaws lie in wait
For well off noblemen
Their monies to take
 
They steal from the rich
And share with the poor
How long can they hide
In their forest so pure
 
This band of commoners
Go against the grain
The Sheriff of Nottingham
To have them slain
 
The followers...

Fire Signs - Eternal Love
The Sun and the Moon are twin flames. 
One from the other is Never far away. 
Always 11 seconds, 11 minutes, 11 hours,
11 days, and 11 months apart, nothing can stop
the chasing of each other's hearts.

The Sun loved the Moon so much, that 
it lightened...
