Bow and Beau Alike

 Bow and Beau Alike

     In a perfect union, the man and woman are like a strung bow. Who is to say whether the       

     string bends the bow, or the bow tightens the string?

                                                                                                    Critic and editor

A strung bow

String and bow

Opposing? No

Complementing? Yo

As bow tightens string

And string bends bow

Potential does grow

Until the power lets go

Bow and string empower each other

Like two attentive, responsive lovers

And with all eyes on the shared target

The arrow just can’t miss
