The American Semi-Long



 
 
The American Semi-long

 

Light as a feather in the hand to carry

Elegant and graceful lines make merry

Whisper quiet and deadly with empty string

Solid and strong, it packs quite a sting

Deep and narrow, limbs that are trapped

Throwing an arrow with precision untapped

Effective, stable, accurate and simple

Slender, robust, long and nimble

No gadgets, no rests, no bow quiver to clutter

Drawing smooth and steady, soft as warm butter

With mystical records of hunting prowess and lore

Howard Hill after all…. need I say more
