As always they will shine
Afferent archery
As sparkling efferent
Avid constellations
Act, salty and feline
Adulterous winking
Aerobics of nature

Cupid, 
God of immortal love,
The sharpest arrows for me
Prepare
Thy archery, on my aching heart
To practice,

Be accurate,
I THEE, Implore
For
I will die at once  
If Thou MISS 
The TARGET!

Love is a mystery
with excellent archery
shoots at a stance
making the heart dance

when souls meet
creating memory sweet 
days transpire at a pace
as if time is at race

when cupid strikes
who dare cross?
for it pricks 
with a sharp dose.

Clout on target
Eye you can't forget
A dot like a tv set
No winking eye you let
Aiming high or low
Stretched or loose you throw
Arrows you release or blow
Prize you do not show.
Archer you know in you
With bow and arrow of you
Archery is your life in a game
Name in flame you lit without shame....

A twin -the brother of
Artemis, and the most
Attractive god was he.
Also god of music,
Archery, healing, plague
And light, he was nicknamed
“Averter of evil.”

Once upon a time, Cupid asked for volunteers for

He wished his archery on their hearts to practice.

Millions rushed forward the opportunity not to miss,

Alas, only a few arrows he had at his disposal!*

Whether real hard or pretended to be so 
Any heart can be pierced  by one's politeness 
Without archery skill and arrow and bow 
Whether real hard or pretended to be so 
Affects positively, works slow although 
Wins at last in materialistic race 
Whether real hard or pretended to be so 
Any heart can be pierced  by one's politeness...

The tree does not at the hewing suffer
Albeit the callous thwacks all edges raining down
Nor the tons of muscles befalling on its cadaver
But savvy ing a bisection of the axe stems from her own

She protractedly taught him to target archery
How his bow bends unerringly
When he at last imbibed the art secrecy 
Betrayingly shot her uncompassionately....

Line up the front post
Cheek pressed to the stock
Call me Paparazzo
I'm taking the shot
And I don't miss
I've been enamoured with the way that you talk
Between you and me
I've been incendiary
Blowing up hot
You've been a tracer round,
Splitting dark, and shooting me down
Line up the front post
Cheek pressed to the stock
Call you Saxton Hope
Loosing every arrow I knock
And you don't miss
Executing every nuance I've caught...

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...

In the deep forest of Sherwood,
there lived an archery King,
Of Nottingham, Englands Robin Hood,
the quest of stories ring,

Whether of fact or fabled folklore,
his legendary feats are still told today:
He robbed the rich to help the poor,
as his sword and archery skills held sway,

Of real fact or of fabled folklore?
Such legendary tales are of a heroic kind,
............and what is more............
"They stand the test of time!"

Winged son of Venus,

You,

God of immortal love,

Listen to my plea:

I beg you 

Your sharpest arrows for me

To prepare

For

Your unparallel archery

On my

Aching for her love heart to practice.

Be 

As accurate as never before,

I  Implore you,

Oh, divine master of our hearts,  

Because

I would certainly die at once,

If

Your target, you happen to

Miss!
