Poem-Target

PAD Challenge day 20;For today’s prompt, write a target poem.  

I hope it is an ocean's roar...

When I pull back the bowstring to 

Release love’s poem-dart 

My eye is firmly fixed on you 

My target is your heart 

Though miles may separate, dear friend 

We are not far apart 

If ink can find a way to wend 

My whisper through your heart 

A poem is always far more 

Than first glance may impart 

I hope it is an ocean’s roar 

That rushes through your heart 

I hope it is a smile, a kiss 

A little wish come true 

Because in every poem is 

Part of my heart for you 

I want, when ink has set its seal 

More than iambic art 

I want its font to touch, nay, steal 

A small piece of your heart
