Poetry & writing are to me, a breath of fresh air in a life that is sometimes covered by the smoke of sorrow or self doubt. They also become the sweets I share to celebrate when life offers me a reason to. But most of all, they are to me, my life. For each word I write is a piece of my heart, a thought that just had to find its way into the world.
What a play of words..Leo.. beautiful.. and hey.. I wait for your feedback here.. 16th day.. free topic.. http://rameshsood.blogspot.com/2011/04/to-live-like-human-tree.html

Marksman Tell's apple-shot from man's head, a miss and he is a dead duck!! 😉
William Tell and his crossbow, those were the days!Well thought out!
A great haiku.I'm sure William Tell Jnr. was glad his dad had a good eye!
Yeah, he'd have been relieved I'd say! B-)
Thanks, Andy 🙂

Terrific use of the prompt, Leo!
I've always been fascinated with the story of William (Wilhelm) Tell and the tyrant Gessler. How cruel of Gessler to make Tell aim an arrow at his own son!Dooras Bull’s-Eye
