A Boy's Quest
On a mission of discovery4 total reviews
Comment from tempeste
On a hike through the Black Hills, I kept my eyes glued to the ground
Hearing from an old man that a Sioux arrowhead might still be found
Have a fossil collection of bones, petrified wood, and an old clam shell
Found a real Indian arrowhead, I can bring to school for show and tell
Ciao Unknown poet . I gave you your first vote!
A tomboy's quest too ( biggrin ) .
Your poem stood out for me.
When I was young I loved digging in the hope of finding some precious object of the past.
I did find lots of interesting coloured pebbles in streams.
An Indian arrowhead would definitely have been a prized discovery for a kid living in America but impossible to find in my home country.
Good luck in the competition, my friend .

Thank you for sharing your quest. I, too had a wish for an arrowhead. Found some interesting stones, but never a distinctive arrowhead. Thanks for your read and review.

Nice job on end rhymes, perfect rhymes really. I like how it helps explain what about rocks is important to you, and from a boy's point of view finding a real arrowhead to bring for show and tell at school. Thanks for entering the contest!

Dear Mystery Writer,
Fun post. I wonder if you meant to have an image here? It looks like you did - but it's not showing up - just that little 'x' to show it's not working.
The poem was cute. Thanks and good luck!

What a very nice and very much to the point poem. I especially like your ending. As a teacher and a mother of four, I actually got excited for you as I read it! Good luck on the contest.
