your turn tuesday #6 gallery
there it is
searching for a sign
in the middle of nowhere
we are meant to be
darlene cliver
...
bull’s eye
i saw the target
in the middle of nowhere
distracting hunters
normand chabot
...
pull
i am again stationary
stood up and ready for action
darts are fine but hatchets scare me
thomas might

he missed the target
but he hit the tree
just bandage my branch

i’ve heard that dripping sap from a tree is
equivalent to human’s tears; only
soundless
i’ve heard that fallen branches are
equivalent to fallen soldiers; forever gone
but not forgotten
i’ve heard that color turning leaves are
equivalent to aging elders;
wrinkling over time
i’ve heard that targets placed in trees are
equivalent to, targets placed on someone’s body;
painful but not to the shooter

if i must be pierced
this is a beautiful day

go to: darthelp.com
yulan san
...
be a winner
take a deep breath
keep your eyes on the target -
bullseye!
yulan san
...
the tree speaks:
too much/too little time?
the only time that matters
is now
yulan san
...
hey look!
hey, look!
that tree wears a dartboard
like a watch
yulan san
...
timepiece
biding time
through good times and bad - the tree
can live a long time
yulan san
...
filling dan’s tuesday roll
i’m on a roll -
best quit before they start
throwing darts
yulan san
...
warning tell
william tell beware
neither apples nor targets
can be shot at here
dan ravasio
...
strange juxtapositions
life always provides
plenty of curious sights
to scratch heads about
dan ravasio
...
pointless
such a crazy sight
a dartboard hung in a tree
“just what is the point?”
dan ravasio
...
lockdown minds
too much time indoors
people seem to loose their minds
or at least good sense
dan ravasio
...
relax
bullseye in a tree
tired of the competition?
then just climb the tree

🦊❤️
if trees could talk
if a tree could speak
would it say, “stop! that hurts me” ?
i think that it would 🦊❤️
“i’m still standin’ yeah, yeah, yeah”
centuries have past
almost four to be exact
still standing your ground 🦊❤️

was chicken little right?
from up in the sky
an avalanche of white stuff
the sky had fallen !!! 🦊❤️
Not so fast. Chicken little was NOT right! The sky had not fallen to earth. The beautiful sky was still up there. Chicken Little tried to pull one over on us by taking a picture of snow on the ground and editing it in such a way that the snow appeared to look like an angry fallen sky!!!! I guess Chicken Little is watching too much news... he’s learning some bad tricks!! Lol
half of abbott and costello
when no one else was out
you were there waiting for me
oh! - lou costello ! 🦊❤️
Abbott and Costello were an American comedy duo composed of comedians Bud Abbott and Lou Costello, whose work on radio and in film and television made them the most popular comedy team of the 1940s and early 1950s and the highest-paid entertainers in the world during World War II. Their patter routine "Who's on First?" is considered one of the best-known comedy routines of all time.[1] Their popularity waned in the early 1950s due to overexposure and changing tastes in comedy, and their film and television contracts lapsed. The partnership ended soon afterwards. Wikipedia.
willing to work
where there is hard work
work that breaks the back and heart
they will be found - there 🦊❤️

Cow Vocabulary 101: A steer is a neutered male cow. A bull is intact. An ox is a cow (any breed or gender but usually steers) trained to work. It's the training that makes an ox . It's not a specific species or breed of cow.
