             My Arrows
              ******

       What will my sons be?
Will they see their dreams fulfilled?
         I have shot my bow
    Arrows, aimed to the future
      Where I myself cannot go.

                 *

         Fruit That Fell
           ***********

        My heart full of pride
       One sixteen, one eleven
        Centered, Undisturbed
          Already realizing
  What "Dad" still sought at thirty

Liked these a lot, and they introduced me to a poetic form that I wasn't previously familiar with. Thanks.

"Already realizing

Yes, that's definitely how it goes. Enjoyed your writes, Larry!
