Poem I wrote

Postby Elkhunttoo » 07 30, 2016 •  [Post 1]

Oh the lonesome of a tree stand
Is where I long to be
When every fall approaches
This is where you will find me

Sitting and a waiting
For a big bull to linger by
To waller in this wallow
As I sit here way up high

Oh the peace and quiet
Is what I mainly hear
Yet if I wait patiently
Somethings sure to linger near

Sometimes you can hear them
As there coming down the trail
And then you'll hear them turn and go
Because your stinkin smell

Now the experts have told me
To sit until the end of shooting light
But being the first day and all
I just knew my urge to get up was right

So I got up from my seat
Started down the tree
I hadn't gone very far
When I noticed a bull staring at me

Now no experts have given me tips
For this perdicarment you see
And the bull seemed caught off guard
For I was the biggest squirrel he'd ever seen in a tree

I finally made the effort
To get back into my stand
The bull just sat and stared at me
He knew he had the upper hand

First goal accomplished
I'm now back in the stand
Yet this empty feeling was still inside
Knowing my bow was on the land

I knew I had to atleast try
So I grabbed onto the string
Hand over hand up it came
My bow began to swing

The bull became uneasy now
And started on his way
But stepped out of the trees one last time
And it became his final day

That's why I sit here way up high
Hour after hour
And now I stay until the end
Perched upon my tower!

Excellent. I know exactly what you are writing. It is truth in poetry. I have had this happen all except the getting the bull part. When I mess up, I do it real good. Thanks.
