Arrows I’ve yet to find an arrows point From the words that I anoint The shaft seems made of laggard’s wood Where meaning phrase be understood And feathers that would stay the shaft Will not catch the wind of draft They seem to flatten in the drive Loosing all their straight of strive I’ve yet to pull the bow and loose The striking of the golden goose To hunt the wilderness of mind And leave the forest with a find Sometimes I wonder in the hunt Is the thought or arrow blunt? Do I really wish to kill? Or is it just the hunt I thrill. I think it is the passage wend The wonders awe and not the end |

Sy, I started to copy this one and found I would have copied the whole poem. Perhaps it's because I relate to this in many ways, but I think it's one of your best. I absolutely love the analogy-I like science and got into your description of the aerodynamics, as well as questioning the hunt. Excellent, and to the library! Oh, by the way, happy morning! Sadie |

Sometimes I wonder in the hunt Is the thought or arrow blunt? Do I really wish to kill? Or is it just the hunt I thrill. ~*~ Too true, dearest Sy that a mere thought, when sharp, pulled, and released, is a deadly as any arrow... and sometimes the hunt should be the thrill, alone. Well done, my dear friend.  |

Good morning, Monsieur Sonneteer! Ah, yes! 'Tis indeed more about life's journey than it is about the destination! D'accord! ~ I wholeheartedly agree! I marvel at your mind ~ poetically and otherwise! ~ and you are so prolific! You could give the energizer bunny a run for his money!  ~ May your slings and arrows of outrageous fortune be straight and true!  Warm, morning huggums, EA |
