An arrow fitted to the string may not the game to table bring lest those who'd in this manner kill possess some small amount of skill And of this skill one must say this 'tis not by chance to hit or miss the mark on which one sets their eye but what comes of the will to try For fear of failure's killed more souls hid from their sights a greater goal and left their hearts to lie in ruin so bow to fear and shoot the moon |

There are a few poets here that I admire for their play on words, especially when entwined with great wit...and skill... and you, Doc, are one of them... |

I didn't know where you were headed with your poem until the very last line... and that last line in combination with the rest of your poem left a very motivating message in my heart.... regardless of my lack or accomplished skill, shoot for the moon. |

Your words hit their mark. Write on target. |

Most excellent Sir Doc! Your words have scored the center of truth. However, I feel I must warn you that in such contests I usually arm myself with a ballista! Good to see you my friend... Peace! |
