Huntress

Nakita Beauclaire 1989 (Louisiana)

April 23 
Free verse
Prepare for battle
Sharpen my arrows
Pull the hair back
For keen sight
Focus on the target
Hmm a fear holding back?
Pull
Release
Not so bad
Negatives opinions from another
Pull
Feel the muscle in my arm stretch with me
Release
Pressure of being forced
Quick Pull
Release
You're not good enough
Pull Release
You don't belong here
Pull Release
Give up
PULL RELEASE
Gather those arrows back for the next round
Link the blood off the tip
A ferocious grin
