Title: "Up a Tree Without an Arrow"
Post by: Wannabe1 on June 20, 2018, 02:30:11 AM
"Up a Tree Without an Arrow"

Autumn forest
All around
Slip through the morning
Without a sound

To the tree
Where I formed my plan
Shimmy up
And set my stand

By skinny rope
Pull up the longbow
Attached to my pack
Which was also in tow

Settle in
And patiently wait
A blacktail deer
To seal his fate

Sudden sound
In my ear
Not twenty yards
A forked horn deer

Longbow in hand
A sickening shiver
Look around
To find no quiver

Now down below
With the singing sparrows
Lies my quiver
All full of arrows

The blacktailed deer
Slowly fades away
As do my dreams
Of a harvest that day....TW

A hook on your hoist string will retrieve your arrows.   :thumbsup:

I've never totally forgotten my quiver, but I have had to climb back down to get it a couple of times.
