Dim is in the ambience,
The mood of spotlighted stance,
Focus on a single place
Concentration on your face,
Your target is before you.

With sharpness of Eagle eye
The feathered steel dart does fly
Closing out the last section
Assuring that you will win.
The crowd congratulates you.

Another round circles round,
The boys give a joyous sound,
Another game though it’s late
Wins the game losing your date
The lady leaves without you.

Gloom

The old dart game that my boys loved and played so much. This is nice gloom. Felt like I was pitching one of those things. floria

Thank you, Nakdthoughts,
You are correct, a game of darts,
Glad you pulled it from the descent

Thank you, Strbbux,
Some of the player get really caught up in the game
To the exclusion of everything else,
(except perhaps another Beer)
pleased you enjoyed.

When the bulls eye is on the wall
There is no pain. Throw! Miss them all
But when the target is a heart
Piercing wrong will cause pain to start?

Actually my husband left without me one night, true story!  I got a new set of fleets that were working magic for me, and I would not budge! LOL, so this brought back some memories long since buried.  I enjoyed this PG.

Thank you, Silver Streak,
For the poetic response

Thank you, Mysteria,
I think that he showed poor judgment,
I would have waited and watched with another pint,
Pleased you liked my poem.

Thank you, Zinsser,
I’ve played a few games, lacking skill only a few,
Now I just watch.

Thank you, Mistletoe Angel
Your responses are always a pleasure
I’m sure you’d pick the game up quickly
If you tried.
