Format is extremely important to this piece, and the submission format on this website has altered the intended format.  Many literary lines of this poem are too long to fit on one physical line in the submission box and, if this poem is published, I hope that can be fixed.  This is because the first stanza of my poem is supposed to convey an air of elegance, while the second is supposed to be short and precise.  The third stanza tells a story, so it is more lyrical in nature than either of the other two.  This all combines to not only inform the reader of the character of the poem, but also give the poem the shape on a downwards-pointing arrow, which is apropriate since this poem is about bows.  Please, please, please try to print it in its original format if it is selected.  Finally, as this note is really addressed to the editors, please do not include it next to my piece if it is published.  I would prefer to let the readers interpret my work according to their own psyches, and extract from it what they wish.  I come to you as a humble Howard Roark, beseeching you to let my art stand on its own, as it was meant to be.
